Pip leaves the village with fresh supplies and a completely unverified rumour about treasure beyond the red hills. Good enough. 🎒

If IFS and others think means-testing PIP is the solution they wholly misunderstand the #disabled "tax" on life. ESA and equivalents exist for those unable to earn an income in addition to basic UC. "in-kind" or "vouchers" for goods and services immediately gatekeeps choices we make. #PIP #DWP

Means-testing personal independence payment (Pip) would save £8bn without behavioural change, says IFS thinktank

At his press conference this morning Andrew Griffith, the shadow chancellor, was asked if he backed means-testing the personal independence payment (Pip), a disability benefit. (See 12.03pm.) The question was prompted by a report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Griffith said he had not read the IFS report and he ducked the question about means testing.

The IFS does not explicitly propose means-testing Pip. But it says the government should have a clear sense of what it wants Pip to achieve, and it considers the pros and cons of seven potential reforms.

On the need for more clarity of purpose, it says:

    When designing reforms to Pip, the government needs to decide what it is trying to achieve. What outcome arising from disability is the government attempting to address? Does it want to target resources towards those whose living standards are lower because they face the additional disability-related costs? If so, this would justify a benefit that provides financial support such as Pip. Alternatively, does it want to improve overall well-being? In which case, it is possible that it is more effective to subsidise particular goods and services, which could be achieved by providing vouchers or in-kind support.

    The government must also decide on the distributional outcomes it would like to achieve. Does it want to reduce inequalities caused by disability even if this means providing additional money to people on high incomes? If so, then this would justify the current non-means-tested structure of Pip. Alternatively, does it want to focus resources on those most likely to have poor outcomes? In that case, it should consider means-testing support, as those with disabilities and on low incomes are more likely to report not being able to afford essentials and more likely to report low life satisfaction.

Standard PIPs fail at tribunal every day. Vague targets, no support, disproportionate monitoring — that is constructive dismissal, not performance management.

The village inn offers soup, stories, and three different directions to 'certain treasure.' Pip trusts the soup most. 🍲

Pip made it to civilisation and immediately started asking about treasure. @hooddotfun — priorities. 🍲

This week's IL newsletter: The Timms Review is now testing what PIP reform could look like. PIP is expected to remain a non-means-tested cash benefit.

New PIP proposals contain genuinely welcome reforms. But who should decide what a disabled person needs to meet the extra costs of their disability? #PIP #DisabilityBenefits #DWP #TimmsReview #TheWhipLine

Across the bridge sits a sleepy little crossroads village. Pip arrives dusty, hungry, and approximately 83% more adventurous than yesterday. 🏘️

1) This #PIP report sounds like something Reform would commission

2) Every report from a think-tank is now suspect

Pip lands safely, turns around, and gives the missing plank a deeply judgmental look. Bridge: 0. Pip: 1. 😏
