Should the UK government replace Personal Independence Payment with a new disability benefit?

The Timms Review, the first comprehensive review of Personal Independence Payment since its 2013 introduction, found it is no longer fit for purpose. The interim report, based on nearly 40,000 responses, states PIP fails to keep pace with changes in disability, health and work, creates barriers to employment and community life, and has a dehumanising assessment process. Recommendations for reform are due in autumn 2026.
