DWP issues new update for people on DLA due to transfer to PIP
17.11.2022 - 13:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has shared a new update for people in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) waiting to transfer to Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

Mr Pursglove responded: “We are committed to ensuring people can access financial support through Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in a timely manner.

“We are currently experiencing unprecedented levels of new claims to PIP. Reducing customer journey times for PIP claimants is a priority for the department and we are working constantly to make improvements to our service.
