Some 97 per cent of 521 PIP reviews have been completed without the need for an assessment.
More than 500 Personal Independence Payment ‘light touch’ reviews conducted by the Department for Work and Pensions since August 2023 have not required an assessment by a health professional, according to information shared in a new Freedom of Information request.
The DWP has published a sample copy of the ‘PIP AR2’ form - for reference use only - as part of the PIP Toolkit on GOV.UK. However, it’s a great way for people with a light-touch award to understand what questions they will need to answer on the six-page document, before the letter arrives from the DWP, allowing them to gather any specific information needed ahead of time.
About your health condition or disability Questions 13, 14 and 15 are given the most amount of space on the form to write additional information. It also reminds people: “PIP is assessed on how your condition affects you, not the condition itself.” The final question also provides guidance on giving DWP consent to obtain further information on how your health condition affects you.
“DWP can lawfully ask your doctor, hospital consultant or other relevant professionals for information about your health condition and how it affects you. This is because we are asking for the information to help us carry out our official social security functions.” Latest Disability Benefits News PIP review process DWP guidance states that you will continue to get PIP while your claim is being reviewed. Claimants will receive the form along with a covering letter.As with all review forms, there is a time limit in which to return the form - usually one month, the date will be on the letter and the review form. However, if you need more time to complete it, contact the PIP enquiry line on 0800 121 4433 as soon as possible.
