<p>We are looking at different options to reshape the current welfare system so that
we can provide better targeted support to those who need it most. We are considering
some of these options through our 12-week consultation which was published on Monday
29 April and will close on Monday 22 July at 11:59pm. Further analysis of these options
will consider any potential financial impacts on claimants.</p><p> </p><p>There will
be no immediate changes to PIP, or to health assessments. All scheduled PIP assessments
and payments will proceed as normal, and claimants should continue to engage as usual
and provide any necessary information or updates regarding their circumstances.</p><p>
</p><p>We encourage everyone to respond to the consultation which can be found <a
href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/modernising-support-for-independent-living-the-health-and-disability-green-paper"
target="_blank">here,</a> so that we are able to hear from as many disabled people,
people with health conditions, their representatives, and local stakeholders as possible
on these important issues</p>
