This Call for Evidence is aimed at organisations and individuals who have information that is relevant to the Review. This Call for Evidence is being administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on behalf of the Timms Review steering group. The Timms Review is committed to engaging with disabled people, the organisations that represent them, carers, clinicians, experts, MPs and other stakeholders, so a wide range of views and voices are heard. The purpose is to gather evidence from all interested parties to inform the Review.
The Review welcomes evidence and insight from individuals and organisations with lived or learned experience, knowledge and expertise. Evidence can take many forms and could include written submissions, existing data or unpublished analysis or reports.
This Call for Evidence will be part of a wider programme of engagement with stakeholders which will be determined by the steering group. All evidence submitted will be made available to the steering group. In addition, DWP will create a summary response to support the steering group in consolidating the evidence received.
The Call for Evidence can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/timms-review-of-personal-independence-payment-call-for-evidence.
Closing date for responses is 28 May 2026.
