Personal Independence Payment: assessment thresholds and consultation
This consultation is intended to seek views on the second draft of the assessment criteria for Personal Independence Payment and in particular on the changes that have been made since the first draft, the proposed descriptor weightings and entitlement thresholds and the draft regulations. At this stage in the development process we do not envisage making significant changes to the broad principles or scope of the assessment and so are not seeking views on these.
Please read all the related documents before responding to the consultation.
Who this consultation is aimed at
The Department is keen to hear views from all interested parties but in particular from disabled people and disability organisations.
