In the year 2021-22, there were 478,800 occasions where the points awarded for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) new claims and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to PIP reassessments were the same as those recommended in the assessor’s report. For some cases, point scores are missing from the data and so these have not been counted, although some of these would also be likely to have the same points recommended and awarded.
