DWP PIP Deadline is May 28

A deadline is near for a big DWP review. Some people must share their thoughts on The Timms Review, but they only have a few days.

The review started after the Prime Minister stopped planned cuts to PIP in 2025. This change was meant to reduce welfare costs, but many critics felt it hurt the PM's authority.

PIP spending will go up from £26bn in 2024-25 to £45bn by 2031. The review is not about saving money, but about involving many people.

Sir Stephen Timms said: "We want to hear from people who know this system well, like disabled people, carers, and those who work with them."

Sharon Brennan added: "Please respond by May 28 and share with others, so many people's views can help shape the future."

Timms wants disabled people and carers' views because "we want to put their experiences at the heart of the review". Others, like doctors and officials, can also share their thoughts.

Sir Stephen said: "We want to hear from anyone with something to say about PIP." People can share written submissions or data.

Sir Stephen Timms leads the Timms Review on PIP.

People can respond online, by email, or by post. The steering group will review submissions and publish a summary to shape the next stage.

The review will be shared with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in autumn 2026. It's the first review of its kind since PIP started.

The review aims to make PIP 'fair and fit for the future'.

It wants to ensure PIP supports disabled people to have higher living standards and greater independence.

PIP helps people with long-term disabilities and health conditions. It's not means-tested, so people can work without fearing they'll lose their benefits.

Officials want to hear from people to make sure PIP is working well and to find ways to improve it.
