  • The DWP is planning to reform a series of disability benefits in early 2025, with the government set to launch a consultation in Spring 2025

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in the UK is set to reform the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) system and other disability benefits, aiming to make the process more sustainable and fair. The changes include a consultation on modernizing support for people with disabilities, focusing on those with the highest needs and costs. Proposals under consideration involve revising the eligibility criteria, assessment process, and the types of support offered, potentially moving away from a fixed cash benefit to a system where support could be more tailored, such as vouchers, grants, or access to shopping catalogues for specific aids. This overhaul is part of a broader effort to manage the rising costs and ensure that the benefits system supports those who need it most effectively. The consultation period for these changes is set to close on July 23, 2024.
