Video transcript

So today I can announce this government will not bring in the Tory proposals 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,080 for vouchers, because disabled people should have choice 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,520 and control over their lives.

4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,280 We will not means test Pip because disabled 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,600 people deserve extra support whatever their incomes.

6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,200 And Mr.

7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker, I can confirm we will not freeze Pip either.

8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,080 Instead, our reforms 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,360 will focus support on those with the greatest needs.

10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,000 We will legislate for a change in Pip, 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,200 so people will need to score a minimum of four points 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,800 in at least one activity to qualify for the daily living element of Pip.

13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,960 From November 2026, this will not affect the mobility 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,560 component of Pip and only relates to the daily living element.

15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,120 And alongside this, we will launch 16 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,000 a review of the Pip assessment led by my right honorable friend, 17 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,880 the Minister for Social Security and Disability, in close consultation 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,400 with disabled people, the organizations that represent them and other experts.
