face-to-face assessments for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims in March as part of UK Government measures to combat the coronavirus.

These have been replaced with telephone and paper-based assessments for everyone making a new claim for PIP and will continue until further notice.

However, many people waiting on their telephone assessment may not be aware of a crucial change that has taken place. The DWP asks Independent Assessment Services (IAS) or Capita to assess people who are claiming PIP.

IAS provide PIP assessments in Scotland , the North East and North West of England, London, the South East, East of England and South West England.
