answer text <p>Rather than setting out a list of specific medical conditions, the criteria to identify those for whom reassessments are no longer required, is based on identifying claimants with the most severe health conditions and disabilities, where it would be unreasonable to expect the individual to undertake any form or amount of work or work related activity.</p><p> </p><p>We already have support in place for ESA claimants who are diagnosed with a terminal illness, where as a consequence of that disease their life expectancy is reasonably believed to be six months or less. They will not need to have a face-to-face assessment, and will be treated as having limited capability for work-related activity and will be placed in the Support Group, where they are not required to take part in any work-related activity. We also have fast track rules which mean their claim must be processed as soon as possible, and they receive the higher rate of benefit immediately.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Personal Independence Payment (PIP) amendment regulations were introduced to clarify the assessment criteria, restore the original aim of the policy and make sure we are giving the most support to those who need it most. The regulations did not represent a change in policy, hence there will be no impact on forecast take-up of PIP.</p> more like this

We received around 6,000 consultation responses, supported by 166 accessible events across the country. Our officials have been working hard since the Green Paper consultation to analyse that fantastic response. We are working towards an autumn publication, which will provide an update on the recent work we’ve been doing, respond to the consultation, and set out our next steps.</p> more like this
