The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is considering an additional increase to PIP benefits
The Department for Work and Pensions is reportedly considering a boost to Personal Independence Payments .
The committee's report underscored major issues within the PIP framework, noting: "Support provided through Personal Independence Payment is not operating as intended. Evidence suggests that insufficient means-tested benefits frequently necessitate PIP recipients to use their extra costs benefits to cover day-to-day living costs."
"Once operationalised, DWP should use findings from the Taskforce to set a benchmark for the health and disability related costs it intends PIP to cover. It should then set out how it intends to reach this benchmark alongside annual uprating."
