Do you think the current PIP assessment captures the full picture of someone’s health or disability?

The PIP test is used to decide financial support for millions – but many people feel it doesn’t reflect the full impact of their condition.

Yes - it’s broadly fair
It partly reflects my condition
No - it misses too much
Not sure

What would make the PIP assessment process feel fairer?

Assessors should have expertise in the condition being assessed
People should be able to record their assessments
More use of existing evidence - less repetition
Greater understanding of fluctuating conditions
The form should be clearer and easier to complete
More time and support to gather medical evidence
Don’t know

What do you think most needs to change about the way PIP works?

The assessment criteria need to better reflect the real impact of disability
The assessment process itself needs to be less stressful and more humane
Decisions need to be more consistent and accurate so fewer people have to appeal
PIP should not be linked to work or employment in any way
People with mental health conditions, autism, and ADHD need better protection
The appeals process needs to be faster and fairer
The telephone and communication systems need to be much easier to use
