answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>DWP raise awareness and understanding of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), for those who may be entitled, using a variety of methods:</p><p> </p><p>Comprehensive information is provided on Gov.UK, and it is made clear that you can claim PIP even if you’re working, have savings or are getting most other benefits.</p><p> </p><p>Meetings take place with various Disability Groups and external stakeholders where PIP is often a topic for discussion. Any presentations or Q&amp;A sessions make it clear that PIP is there to support anyone who may be impacted by a disability or health condition and is not restricted by employment status.</p><p> </p><p>We have also produced a series of useful video guides on PIP, hosted on YouTube. Links to the videos can also be accessed via Gov.UK.</p><p> </p><p>The department has taken steps to raise awareness of PIP amongst Work Coaches, who frequently interact with claimants who have health conditions and disabilities. As part of their routine induction and training Work Coaches are provided with an overview of PIP. They are encouraged to signpost potential applicants to information on Gov.UK rather than discuss eligibility criteria.</p><p> </p><p>For DWP colleagues working on other benefits the approach is the same. If anyone enquires about PIP they are signposted to information on Gov.UK.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 15/05/2024 15:30:56 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

This could mean financial support being better targeted at people who have specific extra costs, but it could also involve improved support of other kinds, such as physical or mental health treatment.</p><p>The Green Paper was published on Monday 29 April and the 12 week consultation will close on Monday 22 July.</p><p>We encourage everyone to respond to the consultation so that we are able to hear from as many people as possible on these important issues, including disabled people, people with health conditions, their representatives, and other stakeholders.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 14/05/2024 16:27:09 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
