More than 650,000 Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments were conducted over the phone between February 2022 and January this year, new data from DWP shows. That accounts for 66 percent of all assessments carried out, with 7 percent done in person, 18 percent being paper assessments and 7 percent over video call.
There were a small number of assessments for which DWP did not hold the data. The Daily Record has put together a list of what you need to know about the assessments and how to prepare.
