Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many and what proportion of people who were in receipt of the Disability Living Allowance for children have had their applications to transfer to Personal Independence Payments on turning 16 refused since April 2022.

The number of people who were in receipt of Child Disability Living Allowance (DLA) that had their application to transfer to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) refused on turning 16, from April 2013 to October 2022, can be found on Stat-Xplore.  In particular, the requested data can be found by applying the following filters to the ‘Child DLA to PIP reassessments’ dataset:

• Select the following dataset ‘Child DLA to PIP reassessment outcomes by month’; and
• Filter for all ‘Disallowed’ outcomes in ‘PIP reassessment Outcomes’.
