The Government wants to hear your views on Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

The DWP has launched a call for evidence on people's experiences of PIP, as part of their review of the benefit (the Timms Review). You don't have to be claiming PIP to respond - you could be claiming Disability Living Allowance, or caring for someone who claims PIP, or you might have been denied PIP.

This is a vital opportunity to share your views on how any changes to PIP could affect disabled people with complex needs. The call for evidence is open until 28th May.
