Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review the Personal Independence Payment eligibility criteria.

The Timms Review, the first ever full review of PIP, was launched to ensure we have a system that supports disabled people to achieve better health, higher living standards and greater in-dependence, including through employment.

As part of this work, the Review is gathering evidence from a wide range of sources, including lived experience, expert insight, existing research and new data, to inform its analysis and recommendations.

The steering group published its interim report on 9 July, providing an update on its work to date, including an evidence pack and a summary of the Call for Evidence, which received over 38,000 responses.

The steering group is now moving towards designing and testing its recommendations for change, which will be published in a final report in the autumn.
