Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many and what proportion of Personal Independence Payment recipients who were given an ongoing award and have had their claims reassessed since 2020.

As of October 2022, the number of current Personal Independence Payment (PIP) recipients, who received an ongoing award at their initial clearance, is 542,880. The number of these recipients who have had their claims reassessed since 2020 is 16,010, which is 3% of the total. In this figure, a reassessment is defined as either a planned award review or a claimant-initiated change of circumstances.
