Thousands of people claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) benefits are having their payments stopped because they are not submitting their review forms. The DWP said 42,000 claimants had their PIP award stopped in 2021 due to this reason.
The figure is a 300% increase in just two years. 25,400 claims were disallowed in 2020.
The shocking figures were revealed by DWP minister Tom Pursglove in response to a written parliamentary question. The stats reflect those who allegedly failed to return their AR1 PIP review form but it is unknown if it also includes people who turned in their forms late.
