I acknowledge, and thank the Government for, the concessions that have been made over the past couple of weeks, which allowed many of us to support the Bill on Second Reading. To clarify, those concessions include the protection of existing PIP claimants and the removal of the requirement for new PIP claimants to achieve four points at their assessment through Government amendment 4, which deletes clause 5. Instead, from November 2026, new claimants will take part in a new assessment, which will be an outcome of the Timms PIP review that is to be co-produced with disabled people and their organisations.
