An eagle-eyed colleague spotted this buried in the “PIP Mythbuster” document at https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/417816/mythbuster-27-mar-2015.pdf:

“Reassessment areas from 26 May 2015 also include Milton Keynes, Romford, Paisley, Dartford, Cambridge, Southend, Bristol, Gloucester, Swindon, Salisbury, Colchester, Chelmsford – postcodes MK, RM, PA, DA, CB, SS, BS, GL, SN, SP, CO and CM

• Reassessment areas from 22 June 2015 London East, London East Central, London South East, London South West, London West Central, Brighton, Bromley, Canterbury, Croydon, Stevenage, Guildford, Hemel Hempstead, Luton, Maidstone, Oxford, Redhill, Bath, Dorchester, Ilford, Reading,

Bournemouth – postcodes E, EC, SE, SW, WC, BN, BR, CT, CR, SG, GU, HP, LU, ME, OX, RH, BA, DT, IG, RG and BH

• Reassessment areas from 27 July 2015 Hebrides, Kirkwall, Lerwick, London North West, St Albans, Kingston, Uxbridge, Sutton, Tonbridge, Twickenham, Harrow, Watford, London North, London West, Enfield, Slough – postcodes HS, KW, ZE, NW, AL, KT, UB, SM, TN, TW, HA, WD, N, W, EN and SL”

However, at the time of writing this, the DWP has not yet updated the official PIP timetable or postcode map to include these areas, and I can’t see anything here on rightsnet about it either.

thanks emma - have emailed the DWP for confirmation since, as you say, they have not updated the PIP timetable pages yet - there will be news story as soon as we know….

That’s interesting.

It looks to me that from 27 July all GB postcodes will be covered.
