Written question asked by Martin Wrigley (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 18 March 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 20 March 2025. It was answered by Stephen Timms (Labour) on Monday, 24 March 2025 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Personal Independence Payment: Disability

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of proposals to reform the Personal Independence Payment on (a) disabled parents and (b) parents of disabled children.

Answer

Information on the impacts of the Pathways to Work Green Paper will be published in due course. Many parents of disabled children will welcome the proposed increase from 16 to 18 in the age of transition from Disability Living Allowance to Personal Independence Payment.

A further programme of analysis to support development of the proposals in the Green Paper will be developed and undertaken in the coming months.
