Timms review finds disability benefits system 'not working' and unfit for purpose
A landmark government review (the Timms review) of the Personal Independence Payment (Pip) disability benefit system in England and Wales has concluded the system is 'not working' and unfit for purpose. The interim report finds systematic and deep-rooted problems that leave vulnerable claimants dehumanised and degraded, and calls for a bold and radical overhaul of the system. The review warns that 'challenging discussions' remain on how to fund and implement reforms.
Key quotes
The Timms review of the personal independence payment (Pip) concluded the benefit, claimed by nearly 4 million people in England and Wales, suffered from systematic and deep-rooted problems that had undermined public trust in the benefits system.
Its interim report, published on Thursday, concluded Pip was 'not working' and committed to making bold and radical changes.
A landmark government review of disability benefits has warned 'challenging discussions' remain on how to overhaul and pay for a system it concludes is unfit for purpose and too often leaves vulnerable claimants dehumanised and degraded.
