The Department for Work and Pensions recently clarified guidance around ‘informal observations’ carried out by health professionals during assessments for Personal Independence Payment . The observations are limited to between the point at which the assessment actually begins to when it ends - the health professional cannot document observations made outside of this period.
Dr Huq had asked DWP what assessments have been made of the potential merits of removing the following from PIP assessments: “We believe the current assessment criteria, including the 20-metre rule, are the best way of identifying people whose physical mobility is most limited and there are no immediate plans to make changes.”
