(asked on 21st November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether Personal Independence Payment mobility assessors are entitled to carry out a walking distance test of claimants.
This question was answered on 2nd December 2016
The Personal Independence Payment Assessment Guide highlights that any examination should be tailored to the individual claimant. There is no specific guidance on walking tests as this does not form part of a routine PIP assessment.
