Summary
New rules for Personal Independence Payment mean adults over 25 will face reviews every four years—then only every six years—aimed at cutting a crippling backlog, especially in mental health cases. The government claims this saves billions and targets employment support, but critics warn it risks prolonging benefits unfairly and undermines accurate assessments. With PIP claims doubling in seven years and costs soaring, the move sparks debate over balancing taxpayer relief with fair, timely support for disabled people.
