Confidentiality concerns over DWP’s pledge to videotape PIP assessments

Campaigners have raised serious concerns about government plans to video-record all face-to-face assessments for personal independence payment (PIP).

The move, which will begin with a pilot project, before being rolled out across the country, was announced this week by the minister for disabled people, Sarah Newton.

Newton also announced that the government was planning to extend the contracts of the two discredited companies that carry out the assessments – Capita and Atos – by another two years (see separate story).
