PIP quarterly official statistics

PIP quarterly official statistics cover:

• caseloads (cases in payment) broken down by:
  • new claims and DLA re-assessment claims
  • normal rules and special rules for terminally ill people
  • mobility and daily living award level
  • main disability category/sub-group/detailed disability condition
  • International Classification of Diseases (ICD) disease code (summary group)
  • age and gender
  • claim duration
• registrations, clearances and awards by:
  • new claims and DLA re-assessment claims

• average clearance times and outstanding times by:
  • new claims and DLA re-assessment claims
  • normal rules and special rules for terminally ill people

On 14 December 2016, we published new statistics on the outcomes of DLA to PIP reassessments. These can be found in the data tables accompanying the December 2016 quarterly release. These statistics will be updated on an annual basis.

Detailed caseload, registration and clearance breakdowns including regional, local authority and Parliamentary constituency data are available as both ready-made and bespoke tables within Stat-Xplore.
