The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is trialling a new online application service and if successful it may soon launch in Scotland.
Beginning in January, the ‘Apply for PIP online’ trial became available to certain first-time PIP claimants and will go on for around six months to test its effectiveness.
Under the new service, the PIP claim and questionnaire forms are done using an IT platform, though the policy, assessment and decision-making criteria are not changed.
