PIP launched in 2013 which means people awarded a ‘light touch’ award will soon be due a review
Personal Independence Payment is a benefit for people aged over 16 and under State Pension age with a disability, long-term illness or mental health condition who need help completing daily tasks inside their home or getting around.
The DWP recently announced that it is reviewing the design of the light touch review process following insight provided by stakeholders, including the charity, Parkinson’s UK. “Our aim is to have the minimum necessary contact with the claimant to check whether anything has changed, adjust the award if needed, and ensure we hold up to date information.”
