Not convinced by Stephen Timms' MP reference to OBR predictions was created by Heisenberg
Stephen Timms MP states as follows:
"After taking into account behavioural changes, the OBR predicts that 9 in 10 of those receiving the PIP daily living component at the point that any changes come into effect will still be receiving PIP by the end of the decade.":

Does anyone know the precise report he is referring to? I am sceptical given that, based on current DWP caseload data, out of the 1,283,000 standard daily living awards, 87% (1,116,000) get fewer than 4 points in all activities:

That is a document drafted by the DWP, or are you suggesting that there is a link to the respective OBR findings in the document?

Hi Heisenberg
This issue is outside the remit of this forum. From that article, there is a direct link to the OBR and its findings and you can see if it has the specific date you're interested in. obr.uk/forecasts-in-depth/policy/
