Timms Review of Personal Independence Payment: Call for Evidence

This Call for Evidence is aimed at organisations and individuals who have information that is relevant to the Review. This Call for Evidence is being administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on behalf of the Timms Review steering group. The Timms Review is committed to engaging with disabled people, the organisations that represent them, carers, clinicians, experts, MPs and other stakeholders, so a wide range of views and voices are heard. The purpose is to gather evidence from all interested parties to inform the Review.

The Review welcomes evidence and insight from individuals and organisations with lived or learned experience, knowledge and expertise. Evidence can take many forms and could include written submissions, existing data or unpublished analysis or reports.

This Call for Evidence will be part of a wider programme of engagement with stakeholders which will be determined by the steering group. This Call for Evidence is open from 19 March 2026 and will close at 11:59pm on 28 May 2026. All evidence submitted will be made available to the steering group. In addition, DWP will create a summary response to support the steering group in consolidating the evidence received.

Data protection and confidentiality

The Department for Work and Pensions will analyse and summarise responses and may use artificial intelligence to assist with the handling of responses - this will be under human oversight and will not replace human judgement in the consideration of evidence. An anonymised version of your response may be published in a list of responses, in a summary of responses received, and in any subsequent review reports. We may also share your personal data where required to by law, for example in relation to a request made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We will remove information which could identify you, such as email addresses and telephone numbers from these responses, but apart from this we may publish responses in full. You can leave out personal information from your response entirely if you would prefer to do so.
