A press release from CABx, says-

'People’s ability to live independently is at risk due to PIP failures. People are experiencing problems with every part of the PIP application process, causing a huge amount of stress and anxiety for those going through a very difficult time....ESA has proved a huge challenge with people complaining of problems with the application process, medical assessments and delays to awards. With PIP now the number one problem people come to Citizens Advice with, the Government must avoid repeating the mistakes made with ESA and focus on its safe and steady implementation...The top three PIP problems reported to Citizens Advice in the last year are: Over 100,000 queriesabouteligibilityforPIP, over50,000makingandmanagingaclaimissues,includingproblemswithdelays and PIP challenges and appeals issues have increased, now standing at over 20,000.'

We know that more claimants are having their DLA assessed under PIP rules all the time, with the government targeting a reduction of 500,000 in DLA claimants compared to PIP.
