answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>The Health Transformation Programme is exploring a case management model as part of its ambition to better understand our claimants, tailor their service, and help to build claimant confidence and trust that their case is being progressed appropriately. We are continually working closely with a broad range of stakeholders, including users of the service, to gain insight and feedback from different perspectives to help shape the design of our services. The programme has conducted some initial tests of a case management model that indicated that claimant contact is important in building trust and transparency. We will continue to gather insight from disabled people and other stakeholders, as we explore how we can most effectively and efficiently manage a claim for PIP in a way that ensures the claimant gets the right outcome at the earliest opportunity.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 24/04/2023 16:02:12 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2023 answer text <p>During the consultation, we heard the views of more than 4,500 people and organisations and discussed our proposals at over 40 public events. In the consultation, people with long-term or chronic health conditions said that they should be assessed less frequently and that the PIP assessment and Work Capability Assessment (WCA) overlapped, leading to additional stress. We know that a large number of people who receive a health or disability benefit currently need to complete two applications and undergo two assessments to receive additional support for their disability or health condition.</p><p> </p><p>We heard that people found these assessments contained unnecessary duplication and that they caused anxiety and distress. This is, in part, due to a fear that trying work or work-related activity could trigger a repeat assessment that could result in the loss of their benefit entitlement.</p><p> </p><p>These issues and barriers cannot be fully resolved by making small changes to the health and disability benefits system, but instead require fundamental changes to the design of the system.</p><p> </p><p>We have addressed these themes within our White Paper by committing to remove the financial disincentives that exist within the current system and reducing the assessment burden that people currently face. We will legislate to remove the WCA so that in future there will only be one health and disability assessment - the Personal Independent Payment (PIP) assessment. PIP will not be means-tested and will stay separate from UC.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 04/04/2023 09:53:15 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
