DWP PIP claimants most likely to receive ongoing award with 'light touch' review after 10 years
People who are aged over 16 and under the State Pension age, who live with a disability, long-term illness, or mental or physical health condition, may be able to claim Personal Independence Payment . The scheme is designed to help people who need a hand completing every day tasks or moving around.
Awards for PIP are not indefinite, lasting up to a maximum of ten years. Depending on the condition someone has and their needs, they may be placed on a 'light touch' review plan, meaning they will be on the same amount for ten years, before having a simple review to extend the benefit if it is still needed.
He said assessors would consider when a “significant change in functional needs is likely, giving due regard to the expected progression of a condition and whether it is likely to improve, stay the same, or worsen”. This would inform how long it would be until another review takes place.
