Overview
- The Department for Work and Pensions says the review covers both Daily Living and Mobility elements and will examine the activities, descriptors and points used to award PIP.
- Ministers signalled that the mobility assessment’s gateway effects on Motability, Blue Badges and Council Tax discounts are in scope following parliamentary questions.
- The process will be co‑produced with disabled people and representative organisations and co‑chaired by Sir Stephen Timms, Sharron Brennan and Dr Clenton Farquharson CBE.
- Outcomes could include changes to primary or secondary legislation or non‑legislative actions, with recommendations potentially applied to reassessments of existing claimants.
- The government targets completion by Autumn 2026 and says any changes will follow the review, reiterating PIP’s status as a cash benefit available to people in and out of work; PIP supports over 3.8 million people in England and Wales and Motability has about 815,000 customers UK‑wide.
