The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be able to apply for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) entirely online from next year. New claims for PIP have been replaced in Scotland by Adult Disability Payment and are no longer processed by the DWP.
The ‘PIP online apply service’ is currently being offered to just 60 new claimants per day while the new system is being tested. Making a claim for PIP online is completely voluntary and people can opt to apply by post instead, however, Minister for Disabled People and Work and Health, Tom Pursglove, told MPs during a debate around PIP assessment processes, that being able to complete the whole application journey online may also reduce decision-making time as supporting evidence and documents can be uploaded instantly.
New PIP claims are currently taking 13 weeks from initial submission to award decision letters being sent out.
Mr Pursglove explained: “The online service is optional; it is a voluntary alternative to the existing method for claiming PIP. Claimants who are unable to use an online service, or do not want to, will still be able to make a claim through existing routes.”
He added that claimants can receive third-party assistance to support them in using the online service as long as the claimant is the one making the claim.
He said: “Claimants who require formal support, such as an appointee, are not included in this current testing phase. However, making the service available to this group of claimants is a priority for us as we safely and gradually expand the service.
“We aim to make the online service available across England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2024 for those who choose to use it.”

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief “Cobweb,” the Kim Jee-woon-directed satire that debuted at Cannes this year, has been cleared for theatrical release in its native Korea later this month. On Monday it saw off an injunction that sought to derail its hometown debut. The film is a tongue in cheek tribute to the Korean movies of the 1970s and plays partly as a film within a film, jumping from color to black and white as it does so. It stars Song Kang-ho (“Parasite,” “Broker”) as director Kim, who needs just two more days of reshoots to craft a new ending to his latest film (also called “Cobweb”) so that it will no longer be the trashy potboiler everyone thought he was making.
