A total of 661,620 Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments were conducted over the phone between February 2022 and January 2023, with phone conversations now accounting for 66 percent of all these assessments.<\/p>\n

The DWP says that these figures account not just for initial assessments to decide on fresh claims, but also applies to award reviews and change in circumstances.<\/p>\n

Tom Pursglove MP, the Minister for Disabled People, shared data earlier this year stating that 69,570 assessments – that’s just seven percent – were conducted face-to-face in the same period of time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 18.1 percent were paper-based assessments and another seven percent of assessments were completed via video calls.<\/p>\n

The DWP’s data does not hold any information for 13,270 assessments that were completed (that accounts for just 1.3 percent) but there are key things to bear in mind when going for any kind of assessment.<\/p>\n

Preparing for PIP assessments<\/h3>\n

Assessments are conducted in person, over the phone and by video call in the majority of cases and successful claims result in the receipt of between \u00a326.90 and \u00a3172.75 every week.<\/p>\n

The payments, though, are made every four weeks and this adds up to between \u00a3107.60 and \u00a3691 being handed out for every pay period.<\/p>\n

North of the border in Scotland, PIP has been replaced by the Adult Disability Payment (ADP) and existing PIP claimants are being transferred in a staggered scheme that is set to conclude in 2025.<\/p>\n

You do not need to apply for ADP and there should be no interruption to your regular payments while the scheme is being rolled out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Consultations for ADP differ slightly from PIP assessments and one key thing to bear in mind is that face-to-face assessments are unuasual.<\/p>\n

Face-to-face assessments will only take place if they are deemed to be necessary or if specifically requested by the applicant. You can find out more about this process here.<\/p>\n
