answer text <p><em>Modernising Support for Independent Living: The Health and Disability Green Paper</em> looks at different options to reshape the current welfare system so that we can provide better targeted support to those who need it most. We are considering these options through our 12-week consultation which was published on Monday 29 April and will close on Monday 22 July at 11:59pm. Any possible impacts on unpaid carers will be considered as necessary.</p><p> </p><p>There will be no immediate changes to PIP, or to health assessments. All scheduled PIP assessments and payments will proceed as normal, and claimants should continue to engage as usual and provide any necessary information or updates regarding their circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>We encourage everyone to respond to the consultation which can be found <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/modernising-support-for-independent-living-the-health-and-disability-green-paper" target="_blank">here,</a> so that we are able to hear from as many disabled people, people with health conditions, their representatives, and local stakeholders as possible on these important issues.</p>
