Disability minister questioned over lack of funding for PIP review engagement with disabled people's organizations
Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
The disability minister Sir Stephen Timms has been questioned for failing to provide funding for a "workshop in a box" initiative aimed at increasing engagement between disabled people's organizations and his review of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) system. The plan, announced in April, expects DPOs and other groups to self-fund events to capture insights about PIP, raising concerns about accessibility and meaningful participation from disabled communities.
