Wales will change to +0.5% on 11th January 2025, matching the rate change already applied in Northern Ireland and Scotland.<br /> <br /> While the new PIDR of +0.5% will mean that personal injury claimants will receive less compensation, premiums for liability insurance are expected to fall. Jon Dye, director of underwriting for motor at QBE Insurance, said: “We welcome the PIDR review and the move to align the rate with more recent economic conditions and the rates recently announced by Scotland and Northern Ireland.<br /> <br /> “Whilst this rate is still likely to result in some claimants being over compensated, this movement is positive news for consumers and business and will help negate the continued upward pressure on the cost of serious bodily injury claims, including increasing care cost at around +9-12%.”<br /> <br /> Jonathan Edwards, partner and head of insurance and risk at HCR Law, added: “The new PIDR is very good news for insurers, as it will hopefully begin to mitigate significant claims inflation over recent years, fuelled by the ever-increasing cost of living, potentially freeing up funds for insurers to utilise elsewhere.<br /> <br /> “This puts England and Wales on par with Scotland and Ireland, having revised their rates earlier this year. Insurers will be reviewing outstanding settlement offers and reserves in advance of the new rate coming into force on 11th January 2025.”<br /> <br /> Prior to the latest announcement, two-thirds of respondents to a recent Airmic members’ poll said they believed that the PIDR for England and Wales should be brought into line with that for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Julia Graham, Airmic CEO, said that the +0.5% rate “strikes a balance between ensuring fair compensation for claimants to meet their current and future needs, and keeping premiums for liability insurance reasonable”.</p>  <br> <hr> <div class="sharewrap"> <div class="sharestorytext">Share Story:</div> <div class="jsiconwrap"> <a href="https://x.com/intent/tweet?text=PIDR rate aligned across all UK regions&url=https://www.cirmagazine.com/cir/c2024120203.php"> <i class="fa-brands fa-square-x-twitter" style="color:black;"></i> </a> </div> <div class="jsiconwrap"> <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?url=https://www.cirmagazine.com/cir/c2024120203.php"> <i class="fa-brands fa-linkedin" style="color:#3371b7;"></i> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article>  <div class="comment-title title-style01"> <h3>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE</h3> </div>  <div class="article"> <div class="entry-block-small"> <div class="entry-image"><a class="img-link" href="/cir/c2024120303.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><img class="img-responsive img-full" src="/cir/images/darkhoodiecyberscreens.PNG"></a></div> <div class="content"> <h3><a href="/cir/c2024120303.php?utm_source=jsrecent">UK cyber risk ‘widely underestimated’ warns NCSC</a></h3> <div> <a href="/cir/c2024120303.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><span class="read-more">READ STORY</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="entry-block-small"> <div class="entry-image"><a class="img-link" href="/cir/c2024120301.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><img class="img-responsive img-full" src="/cir/images/treefieldsunriseskyclimaterisk.PNG"></a></div> <div class="content"> <h3><a href="/cir/c2024120301.php?utm_source=jsrecent">Zurich launches new digital tool to tackle climate risks up to 2100</a></h3> <div> <a href="/cir/c2024120301.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><span class="read-more">READ STORY</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="entry-block-small"> <div class="entry-image"><a class="img-link" href="/cir/c20241128000.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><img class="img-responsive img-full" src="/cir/images/celebration.png"></a></div> <div class="content"> <h3><a href="/cir/c20241128000.php?utm_source=jsrecent">Risk Management Awards 2024 – Winners announced!</a></h3> <div> <a href="/cir/c20241128000.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><span class="read-more">READ STORY</span></a> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <div class="row no-gutter"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div style="float:left;width:100%;"> <div id="adbannerwrapjs"><a href=" " target=""></a></div> </div> </div> </div> <br>  </div>   <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="sidebar-add-place"><a href="/cir/symbiant-grc-software" class="link-06c"></a><p class="rightsmall"><div style="padding-top:0px;"><a href="https://www.symbiant.co.uk" target="_blank"><img src="/cir/images/Symbiant-MPU-Banner-Final.gif" border="0" alt="BANNER" title="BANNER"></a></div></p></div> <div class="sidebar-add-place"><a href="/cir/dig-ed-see-latest" class="link-06c"></a><p class="rightsmall"><a href="https://www.cirmagazine.com/cir/cir-digital-editions.php"><img src="https://www.cirmagazine.com/cir/images/digitalEditonBanner-300.jpg" width="300" height="250" border="0"></a></p></div> <div class="jswrap4"><div class="jstitle4">Investec is disrupting premium finance – Podcast</div><div class="jswrap5"><img src="/cir/images/Investec-podcast-no-graphic_.jpg"><audio controls><source src="/cir/podcast/investec-Movo-cirpodcast.mp3" type="audio/ogg"><source src="/cir/podcast/investec-Movo-cirpodcast.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio></div><div class="jswrap6"><div class="jstext4">Investec made waves in entering the premium finance market, where listening and evolving in response to brokers made a real difference.</div></div></div> <br> <div class="jswrap4"><div class="jstitle4">Communicating in a crisis</div><div class="jswrap5"><img src="/cir/images/BlackBerryGtManchPolice_podcast6.jpg"><audio controls><source src="/cir/podcast/BBerry_GMP_2.mp3" type="audio/ogg"><source src="/cir/podcast/BBerry_GMP_2.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio></div><div class="jswrap6"><div class="jstext4">Deborah Ritchie speaks to Chief Inspector Tracy Mortimer of the Specialist Operations Planning Unit in Greater Manchester Police's Civil Contingencies and Resilience Unit; Inspector Darren Spurgeon, AtHoc lead at Greater Manchester Police; and Chris Ullah, Solutions Expert at BlackBerry AtHoc, and himself a former Police Superintendent.
