Personal Independence Payment (PIP) evaluations will be modified starting in September, according to the Department for Work and Pensions. Next month, the DWP said, new providers will take charge of the switch to a more efficient assessment process.
What is the Change?
A single provider will now offer all benefits that call for a functional health assessment. This implies that the same business will conduct PIP assessments in addition to Work Capability Assessments for ESA and Universal Credit.
New firms are being brought in by the DWP to manage the procedure. People who must go through the onerous procedure may be concerned about the changes, which are a part of the Health Transformation Programme, especially since it may soon become more difficult to receive PIP payments through the conventional method.

DWP, however, asserts that applicants shouldn’t notice significant adjustments. It is believed that neither the new providers nor the system modifications should significantly affect claims.
