Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people who had previously been in receipt of disability living allowance have been found ineligible for personal independence payments following assessment assistance by CAPITA.

Information on Personal Independence Payment clearances by disallowance type (which includes ‘Disallowed post-referral to the AP’) is published on a quarterly basis and is available for both new claims and Disability Living Allowance reassessment claims from Stat-Xplore at https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/. Data is available at regional, parliamentary constituency and local authority level and can be broadly aggregated to give assessment provider level totals. Guidance on how to use Stat-Xplore is available at https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/index.html.
