First comprehensive review into PIP finds it is “not fit for purpose”
What happened
The Timms Review concluded that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is "not fit for purpose." It stated that PIP is failing to keep up with changes in disability, health, and work over the last decade.
Why it matters
The current system for Personal Independence Payment is considered ineffective in addressing modern disability and health needs. This suggests that the support designed for people may not be appropriate for current circumstances.
