To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people who previously qualified for disability living allowance have not been awarded personal independence payments in Liverpool Walton constituency after an assessment by the Independent Assessment Services.

The latest available data on the number of people who previously qualified for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) but have been disallowed on reassessment to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) after an assessment by Independent Assessment Services in Liverpool Walton constituency can be found in the statistical tables released in December 2017 here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/personal-independence-payment-april-2013-to-october-2017
