	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>The Department has engaged closely with the PIP Assessment Providers to ensure that the impact of the Upper Tribunal ruling has been fully understood. Both Assessment Providers have enhanced their existing training packages to ensure that when Health Professionals are assessing whether a person can carry out an activity safely, they also consider both the likelihood of the harm occurring and the severity and nature of the harm that might occur. This same approach also applies to the assessment for a need for supervision.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 16/11/2017 16:16:20 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

Due to the scale involved in reconsidering approximately 1.5million claims, the exact duration will depend upon a number of factors such as the number of people affected.</p><p> </p><p>At this time, we cannot say how many claimants in either the Brighton or Hove area, or nationally, have been identified as being entitled to a higher rate of PIP following the changes on claimants’ ability to carry out unsupervised daily tasks safely.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 16/11/2017 15:59:03 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
