Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when her Department plans to offer reassessments for PIP claimants whose conditions have worsened since their last assessment.

Where a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants’ needs arising from a long-term health condition or disability have changed, they should report that change to the Department. Once a change in circumstances has been reported we will always review their existing award to see whether a change is required to their award to reflect their current needs.
