answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2018 answer text <p>All existing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claimants have been reminded since 2013 in their annual DLA uprating letters about Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and when they will be invited to claim and under what circumstances. Examples of the DLA uprating letter can be found on the PIP Toolkit: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-personal-independence-payment-pip-toolkit" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-personal-independence-payment-pip-toolkit</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Where DLA claimants are selected to claim PIP because their existing award is coming to an end, or they are randomly selected because they have a long or indefinite award of DLA, they are sent a letter. The letter explains that their DLA will end and that if they want to continue to receive support they must make a claim for PIP, provide information when requested and attend any potential assessment consultation. The letter also explains that we will continue to pay DLA until a decision has been made on their PIP claim. Examples of some of these invitations are also available from the PIP Toolkit.</p><p> </p><p>Once a decision has been made on a claim to PIP, claimants are informed in the decision notification of the Mandatory Reconsideration and Appeal rights that apply.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 12/03/2018 16:09:54 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2018 answer text <p>Claimants to Personal Independence Payment are not provided with a list of descriptors because the PIP2 questionnaire, “How your disability affects you”, was designed to allow claimants to tell us, in their own words, how their health condition or disability impacts them on a day-to-day basis. The questionnaire, which was co-produced with the assistance of disabled people, carers and organisations supporting them, is accompanied by a leaflet that helps claimants complete the form. The assessment activities and descriptors used in PIP can be found in part 2 of the PIP Assessment Guide available on www.gov.uk: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/665635/pip-assessment-guide-part-2-assessment-criteria.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/665635/pip-assessment-guide-part-2-assessment-criteria.pdf</a></p><p><em></em></p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 23/02/2018 11:20:20 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>The Personal Independence Payment assessment process has been subject to two independent reviews carried out by Paul Gray. The Government has responded to both reviews, most recently on 18 December 2017, and has accepted or partially accepted all 28 recommendations received.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016 DWP commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct independent research with PIP claimants covering all aspects of the PIP journey, from initial claim, the assessment process through to mandatory reconsideration and appeal. The first phase of the research, examining the initial claims process, was published in the Department’s research report series in March 2017. Interim headline findings from the second wave, covering assessments and decisions, were published in December 2017. A full report covering all three waves of research will be published later this year.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 20/02/2018 11:55:48 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
