Why is PIP being reviewed?

Ministers are reviewing PIP to reshape the benefit, as the story mentions. This comes amid concerns about the rising cost and number of claimants, particularly for mental health conditions like anxiety. The government's proposed changes aim to shift the focus from regular cash payments towards providing more treatment and support services instead.
