Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many applications for Personal Independence Payments were made in each region in each month of the last five years.

Data on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) applications can be found on Stat-Xplore. In particular, the ‘PIP Registrations’ dataset includes the number of applications by month, which can be broken down by region. Regions within England and Wales can be found under ‘Geography’, within the ‘DWP policy ownership’ category. Data is currently published up to, and including, October 2022.

You can log in, or access Stat-Xplore as a guest user, which still gives instant access to the main functions, and, if needed, you can access guidance on how to extract the information required.
