Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 19 January 2023 to Question 125421 on Personal Independence Payment, in what ways elements of the Personal Independence Payment claims process have been adapted to provide further support for this group.

Where claimants are considered to require additional support, elements of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims process are adapted to provide further support. This includes help filling in the form and protections for failing to return the questionnaire, or for failing to attend an assessment. Claimants who require additional support to engage with the PIP application process are guaranteed to have an assessment if they fail to return their PIP2 questionnaire.
