The proposal would allow NHS staff to decide whether a claimant is entitled to the benefit worth up to £691 each month
A new online petition is calling on the UK Government to create a fast-track application process for people making a new claim for Personal Independence Payment which would allow NHS staff to decide whether a claimant is entitled to the benefit - without the need for any formal assessment.
Ms Tyler-Squires adds: “We believe this change would make the application process swifter, easier, accessible, and much more effective.” DWP recently published details on how the proposed new Health Transformation Programme will change the entire PIP service from finding out about benefits and eligibility through to decision-making and payments. The new strategy also highlights how the programme will make “improvements to existing ways to claim and introduce an optional online service”.
