## Resource

The Personal Independence Payment system is failing everyone — disabled people, their families, and the government. A damning review calls it “no longer fit for purpose,” citing an unworkable application process that traps applicants in bureaucratic hell. Advocates are pushing for radical changes: using existing medical records, designing forms that reflect fluctuating needs, and making the whole system less stressful for those already struggling. Without reform, people are skipping applications, falling behind on bills, and going without essentials — while the system they rely on remains broken.
