The charity Z2K has revealed that hundreds of thousands of disabled claimants undergo needless reviews. For example, three-quarters of people with learning disabilities, 86% of amputees, and 62% of those with cerebral palsy receive fixed-term PIP awards. This results in mandatory reassessments every three years, despite many having conditions unlikely to improve, such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
