UK disability benefit PIP deemed 'not fit for purpose' as review promises radical reform
An interim review (the Timms report) has concluded that the UK's Personal Independence Payment (PIP) disability benefit system is "no longer fit for purpose," with claimants describing the application process as "dehumanising," "soul destroying," and "degrading." The review promises "radical and bold" reforms to the system, which is intended to help people with long-term physical or mental health conditions or disabilities cover everyday tasks and extra living costs.
