Motion text
That this House recognises the devastating impact of the Personal Independence (PIP) assessment process on people living with Multiple Sclerosis over the past decade; acknowledges the MS Society’s new survey of over 3,500 people with MS, which found that 2 in 3 people with MS said going through the PIP process had a negative or very negative impact on their physical and mental health, 6 in 10 people with MS said their assessment report did not accurately reflect their condition, and over 3 in 5 people with MS said their assessor did not consider their hidden symptoms; and calls on the Government to address these concerns by committing to a full review of Personal Independence Payments 10 years on from their introduction.
