answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2020 answer text <p>Once someone has been awarded Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which can be paid at one of eight rates, that award will be usually be reviewed. Regular reviews are a key feature of the benefit and ensure that payments accurately match the current needs of claimants. Shorter term awards without a review can also be made where there is an expectation that a claimant’s condition will not give rise to a further award. Claimants given a fixed term award with no review are free to apply for PIP before their existing award ends and will be treated as a new claim.</p><p> </p><p>Advice is available to Case Managers on the appropriate award length and was deposited in the House Library on 10 October 2018 [<a href="http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2018-1113/UIN_174062_-_Award_period_guidance_10.10.18.pdf" target="_blank">http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2018-1113/UIN_174062_-_Award_period_guidance_10.10.18.pdf</a>]. The guidance has since been updated to include guidance about awarding ongoing awards for PIP recipients of State Pension age.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 16/12/2020 14:41:04 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2020 answer text <p>The £20 per week uplift to Universal Credit and Working Tax Credit was announced by the Chancellor as a temporary measure in March 2020 to support those facing the most financial disruption as a result of the public health emergency. This measure remains in place until April 2021. As the Government has done throughout this crisis, it will continue to assess how best to support low-income families, which is why we will look at the economic and health context in the new year.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 15/12/2020 16:41:18 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
