Great new blog by @niamhredgate.bsky.social explaining the PIP backlog.
Our advisers tell us that PIP makes a huge difference to someone's budget. It can be the difference between being able to cover your essential costs, or going in the red each month. 20 weeks is far too long to wait for support.

More than 710,000 disabled people are waiting for PIP decisions, with new claim wait times now at 20 weeks.
These delays can push people into poverty and worsen health conditions.
My new blog breaks down the backlog and why the Timms Review must not lose sight of delays and the harm they cause.
