To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people received the (a) standard and (b) enhanced rate of the (i) daily living component and (ii) mobility component of personal independence payment in each year since the beginning of its roll-out.

The latest available data covering claimants who were reassessed from Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can be found in the statistical tables “Personal Independence Payment: DLA to PIP reassessment outcomes, October 2017” published in December 2017 here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/personal-independence-payment-april-2013-to-october-2017

Table 8A (i): (DLA to PIP Reassessment Outcomes - Comparison of DLA and PIP entitlement) shows claimants’ level of care and mobility award under DLA compared to their level of daily living and mobility award under PIP. The latest date for which published data is available is 31st October 2017 and comparisons of DLA and PIP awards for reassessment claimants are published annually.

The latest available data on PIP claims in payment, including volumes of claims broken down by level of daily living and mobility awards, are published on Stat-Xplore: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk.
