Help shape how PIP operates in the future
The Timms Review Steering Group is developing recommendations on how PIP should be reformed. It invited people with experience of the system to test the recommendations.
This was originally published on 12 August 2026, and was updated on 7 September 2026.
The Timms Review Steering Group is hosting 15 workshops to test their recommendations on how PIP should be reformed.
9 sessions will be in-person at sites across the UK and 6 will be online. Each will have 20 participants.
The workshops will run from 15 September to 7 October 2026.
The key questions that the Timms Review Steering Group want answered are:
- Will their recommended changes enable people with disability-related costs to live as independently as possible?
- Will the changes improve claimants’ lives?
- What unintended or unwanted consequences can they see, if the recommendations are implemented?
- What would a fair system feel like?
The recommendations will be made available to those who have been selected to join one of the workshops.
At least one of our PIP Review Reference Group has been selected to take part in a workshop.
Organisations, like Parkinson’s UK, are also being invited to apply to join workshops to discuss suggested recommendations. We will let you know if we are selected to take part in a workshop.
