EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT! 🛎️ In 2025, Grapevine and Central England Law Centre supported Coventry people to respond to the government’s consultation on proposed changes to disability benefits — and we are doing it again!
This time to respond to the government’s ‘call for evidence’ in its review of the Personal Independence Payment benefit (PIP) — known as the Timms Review.
SAVE THE DATE 📆
Wednesday 6 May, open from 10am to 12.30pm
Belgrade Theatre, Coventry
The government says the review of the health and disability benefit PIP aims to help support better health, higher living standards, greater independence and employment where possible.
Is PIP fair, fit for the future and working well in our changing world?
Grapevine and Central England Law Centre want to know what YOU think.
As Coventry-based organisations working with disadvantaged people, we intend to contribute evidence to the Review with a full and true picture of what life with (and without) PIP is like for disabled people and people with long-term conditions in our city.
Our submissions will include people’s lived experience, our own knowledge, data and reports.
To achieve this we are once again hosting a free, open event (no appointment necessary) for people to come and share their experiences of PIP.
The evidence we gather will be submitted to the Timms Review.
It is very important we respond to the Review so that the government knows what Coventry people think about PIP.
Please tell us you are coming and let us know any access requirements by clicking this link: https://forms.gle/h8S2qsDhY3KiXXZV7
Please also share with anyone you know who receives PIP, or has applied to receive it, and lives locally.
