The information requested is not readily available for all special rules for the terminally ill benefits, and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

The Department intends to provide more detailed breakdowns of DLA to PIP reassessment outcomes in due course. The Department is working to guidelines set by the UK Statistics Authority to ensure we are able to publish statistics that meet high quality standards at the earliest opportunity.
