The House of Commons Work and Pensions Committee is coming to Glasgow next week as part of its inquiry into how health assessments for benefits delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) can be improved.
In an event to be held at Strathclyde University on Monday, June 27 from 11am to 1pm, the Committee is urging people on Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Employment Support Allowance (ESA), Universal Credit, Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Attendance Allowance and Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit to share their experiences.
