The postcode areas where Personal Independence Payment (PIP) natural reassessment has started, or is shortly planned to start, can be found on the Gov.UK website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pip-postcode-map-uk<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Northern Ireland Assembly are in the process of passing the necessary legislation to introduce PIP in due course. It is a matter for the Northern Ireland Assembly how and when natural reassessment will start.<\/p>

Universal Credit ensures that people are better off in work \u2013 and makes it pay for people to increase their earnings through more or better paid work.<\/p>

<\/p>

We will, for the first time, be supporting people in low-paid work to take active steps to increase their earnings.<\/p>

<\/p>

We first need to build the evidence on what can be effective in helping people to earn more. We are therefore committed to testing and learning what works, including the role and impact of conditionality.<\/p>

<\/p>

We will evaluate this through the first trial that will start in April 2015 to inform decisions on extending in-work conditionality.<\/p>

Table 1: <\/strong>estimated median weekly income (£) from self-employment of women from 2002/03 to 2012/13. These figures cover a period that includes the deepest recession since the 1930s and the initial recovery from a large fall in national income. In the period since 2012/13 the economic recovery has picked up speed, with GDP in 2014 up by 2.6% on the previous year, while the number of people in work increased by more than half a million in the year to November 2014.<\/p>

      The French Government and European Union law makes a distinction between the pays et territoires d\u2019outre-mer<\/em> (PTOM) and the départements d\u2019outre mer (DOMs). <\/em>The PTOM include Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Barthélémy, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna and New Caledonia. These territories benefit from association with the EU but community law does not generally apply. With the exception of Saint- Barthélémy they have their own social protection schemes and are legally and financially autonomous. UK Winter Fuel Payments are not paid to residents in the PTOMs.<\/p>
