The change to eligibility for the daily living component of the Personal Independence Payment was always the source of greatest concern and anger. This was partly because it appeared to many that the Government was treating PIP as an incapacity benefit, although we recognise that, as the Minister said, a large majority of PIP recipients are not in work. (Conclusion, Paragraph 102)

The change to eligibility for the daily living component of the Personal Independence Payment was always the source of greatest concern and anger. This was partly because it appeared to many that the Government was treating PIP as an incapacity benefit, although we recognise that, as the Minister said, a large majority of PIP recipients are not in work. (Conclusion, Paragraph 102) Type: conclusion | Number: 9 | Response status: accepted Government response: Following concerns raised about the pace of change, particularly around the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) we removed clause 5 of the Bill. We will now take forward reforms to PIP in a different way, through the Timms Review, which we are co-producing with disabled people and other experts.
