I was asked the same question. I am self-employed but can only work a limited number of hours. Unfortunately, they did use this information against me, claiming that I was "motivated".

I was asked the same question when I had my review in June. I can't work because of my disability and I still got my enhanced this time. Would have thought it would be OK for people who work.

PIP Assessment & review - Question about working

Deborah Richards — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:32:46 +0000

I had my PIP review on the phone yesterday (won't go on about waiting a year which I know many of us have faced!). I wanted to ask if any of you have gone through assessment or review and you have been asked the work question? For the first time in my experience I was asked if I worked and how I got there and if anything is in place to help me at work. My kind side says it's because they are interested to see if we are all being supported but my cynical side says this could be another reason to refuse. Will let you know. Would be very interested though with my casework hat on if any of you have been asked.

Many thanks, Debbie
