If you get PIP read this!

As part of the Timms Review of PIP, the Timms Steering Group is running a Call for Evidence on how PIP works and what should change. This is a key chance for your lived experience to influence the review.

If you receive PIP, support someone who does, or work with people affected by the benefit, we’re urging UNISON members to take part.

Submit your evidence here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/timms-review-of-personal-independence-payment-call-for-evidence

This call for evidence closes at 11:59pm on 28 May 2026

Your voice can help ensure reforms improve support - not reduce it. If you’d like to share your experiences with UNISON’s Disability Equality team or need support responding, please get in touch. [email protected]

This Call for Evidence is being administered by DWP on behalf of the Timms Review steering group and seeks to gather feedback and insight relating to the areas outlined in the Terms of Reference of the Review.

Whether it's an urgent workplace issue, a welfare concern, or simply reassurance in a difficult moment, the staff of UNISONdirect are listening, guiding and supporting
