This is a fantastic look into what’s going on with increased PIP claimants. The ‘problem’ really is greater poverty and need rather than ineligible people giving a claim a go and getting through by hook.

I am doing a survey to gather people’s experiences of receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Adult Disability Payment (ADP) to highlight the impact that disability benefits can have on the wellbeing of disabled people. forms.office.com/e/7Kda0UzP6G
