More from Sir Stephen Timms
We need to examine how Pip can respond to the rising number of people seeking support and whether it adequately reflects the diverse reality and needs of disabled people today.
The successful completion of move to universal credit marks a major milestone, with nearly two million people having now moved on to universal credit from legacy benefits.
We're certainly going to be looking fairly at how these decisions are being made, and the question of fiscal sustainability for the benefit is going to be a concern as we reach these decisions.
This interim report delivers a clear message: while PIP is widely valued as a benefit, it is not working as intended and needs fundamental change.
