After the government’s climb on changes in health related benefits in June, more information has come to light about the review of Labor’s Personal Freedom Payment (PIP).
The review lead will be experienced Labor MP Sir Stephen Tims, who shared more information about how he would reach the issue.
Currently claimed by 3.7 million people, Stool Staying with a disease is designed to help with extra cost or DisabilityLabor proposals to effectively create evaluation criteria for benefits are difficult to claim that campaign groups and organizations of disabled met with fierce opposition.
The ministers supported the plans in late June after more than 100 labor MPs threatened to vote against the government on measures. The concession was announced by Sir Stephen in the midst of a debate on the legislation.
One of the major criticisms against the schemes was on the lack of consultation with people with disabilities on the changes of the government, alleging that Legislation “had fled.
Sir Stephen has now confirmed that his review of PIP will be co-built with disabled people and disability organizations. Speaking to the BBC access all podcast, he said: “We are going to take a lead from people with disabilities and people with disabilities in this work.”
However, the Social Security Minister said that it would probably only include “a small group of ten people”, with the recommendations of reviews, then opened for a public consultation after its conclusion in the autumn 2026.
Sir Stephen also said that the review is “not intended to give cuts,” but it would definitely have to operate within the current estimates as to what is going to be spent. “
Labor ministers had originally planned to save about 5 billion pounds from their planned changes, with a change in the pipe with £ 4.1 billion. With the change in profit, questions are raised about labor, not on the table now You can see these savings to find elsewhere.
Considering the forced U-turn of the government on changes, Sir Stephen said: “I think the initial proposal is not being carried forward. I think people are happy about it, and I understand why.
“What we have seen is an example of democracy that is going to do this: people express their concern to their MPs, MPs express those concerns in Parliament, and the resulting policy has changed.”
“I think this is a positive example that we now need to pursue this review.”
