Campaigns

HARC has had an unprecedented number of people approaching us about the current system of health assessments for Personal Independence Payment, Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit.

Far too many people are telling us they don’t believe they are being listened to when they attend face-to-face appointments as part of the assessment process. Many people tell us they are not being treated with dignity and don’t recognise themselves from the reports written about them. Far too many of HARC’s clients are being refused PIP by DWP, then having to wait over a year before winning an appeal.
