The Call for Evidence is open to anyone who wishes to contribute and is available at the link below.
From the Terms of Reference, the lived experience steering group has shaped the work of the Review around four key themes:
- the role and purpose of PIP
- eligibility, fairness and equity in the award of PIP
- experience of claiming PIP
- the changing context and the impact on PIP
The following questions are intended to prompt your thinking about the most appropriate evidence to submit:
- How effectively is PIP delivering on its intended role and purpose?
- Does the PIP assessment, including the assessment criteria, effectively capture the impact of long-term health conditions and disability in the modern world, and provide fair access to the right support at the right level across the benefits system?
- What is the experience of people claiming PIP and does this vary for different groups of people?
- What has changed in wider society and the workplace since 2013 (and might be expected to change in the future), and how has this impacted PIP and does PIP need to change accordingly?
You do not have to respond to all of the above prompts if you do not want to. You may comment on any area in the Terms of Reference using your preferred structure.
