Choose from the options above for details of regulations and case law relating to the personal independence payment assessment. You can search by activity, issue or health condition to find out more about the legal framework and how the Upper Tribunal has interpreted the law.

Pipinfo helps advisers in assisting people to make a new claim for personal independence payment, and challenging decisions to refuse, or award a lower rate of, the benefit.

Note: further to the March 2025 Pathways to Work Green Paper - in which the DWP promised to carry out a review of the PIP assessment to help ‘shape a system of active support that helps people manage and adapt to their long-term condition and disability in ways that expand their functioning and improve their independence’ - the government has now published Terms of Reference for the review that set out that it will be co-produced with disabled people and aim to conclude by Autumn 2026.
