Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, on how many occasions during in year 2021-22 were points award recommended in the assessor’s report for a Personal Independence Payment clearance identical to the points award in the initial decision.
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.
