UK review finds PIP disability benefit system "not working," calls for health-centered welfare reform
A government-commissioned landmark review led by UK disability minister Stephen Timms is expected to conclude that the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment system in England and Wales is fundamentally failing disabled people and people with long-term health conditions. The review calls for a root-and-branch redesign of the system to better accommodate fluctuating conditions, mental health issues, and long-term illnesses. The interim assessment is expected to recommend placing health and wellbeing at the center of welfare reform rather than the current assessment-driven model.
