The government’s Timms review is gathering evidence on the importance of Personal Independent Payment and how it should change. If you’re an unpaid carer, they want to hear from you. Submit your experiences here: bit.pulse.ly/uxr2wmxt1i The deadline is Thurs. 28 May.
The image is a promotional graphic for "The Timms Review: Call for Evidence." It encourages participation to help shape the future of Personal Independent Payment (PIP). The text is in black and red, with a stylized hourglass icon next to it. A red label with "May 28" highlights a deadline or significant date.
