answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2023 answer text <p>PIP awards are not condition-based as individuals can be impacted by their health condition(s) in different ways and those impacts can vary over time. However, we recognise that assessments and reviews are not always suitable for our claimants, including those with lifelong or long-term conditions and disabilities.</p><p> </p><p>We announced in the Shaping Future Support: Health and Disability White Paper that we will test a new Severe Disability Group in PIP to reduce unnecessary applications and assessments.</p><p> </p><p>The first light-touch reviews at the 10 year point for those with ongoing awards, started in August. These are primarily for those with long-term conditions on the highest level of support or whose conditions are stable. The design draws on discussions with charities and other organisations and involves a short form to check whether anything has changed, adjust the award if needed, and confirm we hold up-to-date information.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 07/09/2023 15:28:53 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
