  • The Timms Review interim report finds the current PIP assessment system in England and Wales is inadequate for disability benefits.

  • The existing points-based method fails to capture the complexity and variability of many health conditions.

  • The assessment process is described as dehumanizing and impedes disabled individuals from seeking employment.

  • Recommendations include implementing a fairer system that better reflects the diverse needs of disabled people today.
  • PIP has a profound impact on people’s independent living, dignity, security, and daily lives – and this Review is an opportunity to help shape something better.
