PIP Update

The DWP accepts that the delays faced by some people claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) are unacceptable, and they are looking at a number of ways to clearing the back logs and improve processing times. They have increased the number of health professionals and administrative staff that the employ, new assessment centres have been opened and they have made changes to the IT tools that support assessments. By the end of 2014, they expect no one to be waiting longer then 16 weeks. (it has been 26 weeks).
