answer text <p>DWP does not operate a blanket approach to compensation. Claimants who consider their assessment has been delayed by Atos or Capita should in the first instance take this up with the relevant company, who each have their own complaints process. If the complaint cannot be resolved, complainants will be signposted to DWP’s independent complaint tier, the Independent Case Examiner (ICE). If the ICE upholds the complaint, they will recommend redress for any impact on the complainant, in line with DWP policy on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/309964/financial-redress-maladministration-apr-14.pdf" target="_blank">Financial Redress for Maladministration</a></p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

By the end of the year, we expect no one will be waiting longer than 16 weeks.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Any delays experienced in the Personal Independence Payment new claims process will not affect the date from which claimants are paid – all successful claims will be paid from the date the claim was initially made.</p>
