Proposed plans state that the DWP wants to understand whether different assessment methods drive different award outcomes
The Department for Work and Pensions recently published new proposals to help more disabled people and those with health conditions start, stay and succeed in work. The Health and Disability White Paper was published in March and sets out ways the UK Government plans to transform the entire Personal Independence Payment service.
Minister for Disabled People, Tom Pursglove MP, also recently confirmed that the DWP has started to “test the feasibility” of sharing PIP assessment reports with claimants before a decision is made, allowing them the opportunity to “to clarify evidence” so that DWP can make the “right decision as early as possible”.
“An Independent Audit function continually monitors performance and provides feedback to its providers, ensuring a high standard is always maintained.” It states: “This trial will compare award outcomes across channels for people who are due an initial Work Capability Assessment or PIP assessment, who can use all three channels, and whose assessment is auto booked to one of those channels.”
