Petition Create fast-track for PIP applications where NHS staff can approve claims

PIP assessments can be inaccessible for some patients e.g. with fatigue. This system could be improved with a fast-track system where claims are approved by NHS staff, through a centralised, simple online system. Money could be saved as fewer PIP assessors would be needed, as they would only be needed for appeals and applications where the claimant doesn't have a diagnosis through the NHS. Certain NHS teams currently lack the time and resources to supply PIP evidence and a check box would reduce the burden on NHS staff. We believe this change would make the application process swifter, easier, accessible, and much more effective.
