Notes for tables:
- Figures are based on the first outcome recorded for each case and include both new claims and DLA reassessment claims assessed under normal rules.
- Data has been rounded to the nearest 10 cases; totals less than 5 but greater than 0 are indicated by “#”.
- This is unpublished data and it should be used with caution and it may be subject to future revision.
- Data is based on main disabling condition as recorded on the PIP computer system.
- Claimants may often have multiple disabling conditions upon which the decision is based but only the primary condition is shown in these statistics.
- The one year award length group includes cases whose award lengths are in the range 1-1.5 years. The two years award length group includes cases whose award lengths are in the range 1.5-2.5 years, and so on.
- The greater than 10 years group includes cases whose lengths are greater than or equal to 10.5 years but excludes cases whose award is indefinite.
- Award lengths are calculated from the date of on-flow to PIP to the review date.
