4 June 2018 (updated on 4 June 2018)
Debbie Abrahams, MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth and former Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, asked an urgent question on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) appeals in the House of Commons on Monday 4 June 2018.
In response, Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey told the House:
"I am absolutely committed to ensuring that disabled people and people with health conditions get the right support they need. PIP is a modern, personalised benefit that assesses claimants on needs, not conditions. It continues to be a better benefit than its predecessor, disability living allowance, for claimants with chronic conditions."
