Personal Independence Payment assessment: independent review: call for evidence.
The Department for Work and Pensions appointed Paul Gray CB to undertake the first independent review of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment. This is the first independent review as required by Section 89 of the Welfare Reform Act 2012.
The review includes all stages of the PIP process – from making a claim, the face to face consultation, the daily living and mobility criteria and getting a decision.
This call for evidence was one of several methods used to gather information during the review. Paul Gray will use evidence from this review to inform his report to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, which will be laid before Parliament before the end of 2014.
This call for evidence was intended for organisations and individuals who have information about how all aspects of the PIP process and assessment are operating.
The call for evidence closed on 5 September 2014. You can find out more at https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/personal-independence-payment-pip-assessment-first-independent-review
