answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department is continually working to improve the claimant journey for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for all claimants including those with hearing loss.</p><p> </p><p>Improvements we have made to date include introducing the Video Relay Service for those with communication difficulties who use British Sign Language (BSL) so they are able to communicate with the Department more easily. The ‘Next Generation Text’ (NGT) service is available for Deaf or hard of hearing claimants unable to use BSL or those unable to speak. Claim forms can be requested in writing or by email. We can also arrange for a DWP Visiting Officer to visit the claimant, with a BSL interpreter if required, to help with completion of the PIP claim form.</p><p> </p><p>Assessment Providers must provide on request materials in alternative formats to meet the needs of claimants with a wide range of disabilities and health conditions in line with the Disability and Equality Act 2010. This includes providing a British Sign Language interpreter to be present at an assessment if requested in advance. Companions are also encouraged to attend and can play an active role during the assessment.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 27/03/2018 13:15:12 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
