The government's consideration of replacing PIP cash payments with vouchers has provoked outrage, termed "utterly ridiculous" by disability charities concerned about the impact on claimant autonomy.
Kendall acknowledged the serious concerns surrounding the potential voucher system, recognizing that many organizations fear it could diminish the autonomy of individuals relying on PIP, particularly with strained services.
Despite earlier indications of dropping the voucher proposals, the Labour government remains non-committal, stating they will evaluate all feedback before making final decisions on PIP reforms.
Kendall emphasized the complexity of PIP reforms, conveying the government's reluctance to provide additional details until they have conducted comprehensive discussions with stakeholders.
