Overview

• The government expects the reforms to save £5 billion annually by 2030 as it tightens PIP eligibility rules.
• Disability advocates and some Labour MPs warn the changes could disproportionately affect claimants with invisible or mental health conditions.
• DWP analysis indicates that hundreds of thousands who qualify under current scoring will lose daily living payments without at least four points in one activity.
• The mobility component assessment will remain unchanged and terminally ill individuals will continue to receive PIP automatically.
• Public feedback is being gathered until June 30 ahead of a parliamentary vote later this month, with the DWP exploring potential adjustments in response.
