The gray report

Paul Gray is employed by the DWP to produce an independent report on the operation of PIP, he has just published his latest report. The report is quite long and I have only skipped through it but I have to say that I struggle to see it's relevant to a single PIP assessment and the Decision that followed, in particular, it is neither accepted guidance nor the actual law. My best guess is that as it has just been published then it is the latest buzz phrase being used by DMs.
