PIP Discussion in Parliament

charlie72

I;ve heard PIP was being discusssed today 08/10/24 in parliament with a question and answer going on. Does anyone else know anything about this and what was being discussed or said about this issue? I know we won't know for certain exactly what's happening until the dreaded budget, but sometimes clues are given when MP's are questioned.

There was a discussion in parliament regarding welfare but nothing specific was mentioned about pip so we are still none the wiser.

I meant to also say it was yesterday not today.

Yes the winter fuel allowance was mentioned quite a bit, child poverty, pension credit and blaming a massive black hole on the Tories.

On the 7th of October I believe there was a questions session for Kendall as Secretary of State for the Department of Work and Pensions but from what I remember, and what I can see on the parliament website. None of the questions were about PIP, but about Winter Fuel Payment, Pension Credit, Access to Work, child poverty and more.
