Victoria Collins

Liberal Democrat — Harpenden and Berkhamsted

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 June 2025

Debate

Personal Independence Payment

Contribution

The response to my recent written question on disability benefits applications listed the 18 most common disabilities and health conditions and showed that hundreds of thousands of people were awarded fewer than four points in all living activities and will miss out on the daily living component of PIP. They include people like Jemima in Harpenden, who suffers from severe physical disabilities and thyroid cancer and finds even walking very difficult. Will the Government please commit to reforming the criteria to better reflect the full complexity of claimants’ conditions?
