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.
My view is that the current level of spending is not a great concern. What would be a concern would be if it carried on going up forever more.
They're going to be very well thought through proposals, thanks to this lengthy and very carefully considered exercise that we've gone through.
We are committed to making changes so that Pip can fulfil its purpose for disabled people and those with long-term conditions, both now and into the future.
