Govt backs down: PIP changes paused for full, co-designed review — a big win for disabled people & the advice sector. But risks remain for future claimants & stretched advice services. We will keep pushing for evidence-based reform. Our full submission: https://t.co/PKru65x1Lw

Thank you to everyone who spoke out about the welfare reform bill

We’ll be closely engaging with the review process and to push for a fair, supportive benefits system that recognises the challenges carers face every day.

The Government is considering changes to how PIP eligibility is assessed.

To gather feedback, we've created a survey, and we would greatly appreciate your participation. Responses are completely anonymous, and any questions can be left unanswered.
