Timms Review interim report finds PIP system 'no longer fit for purpose' despite growing importance to disabled people
An interim report from the government's Timms Review concludes that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is increasingly vital for disabled people to compensate for cuts to services, but the system has "deep-rooted" problems and is "no longer fit for purpose." The review's steering group, mostly composed of disabled people, found that many disabled people describe PIP assessments as "dehumanising," "soul destroying," "humiliating," and "degrading." The report highlights systemic issues with how the benefit is delivered and assessed.
