Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what data his Department holds on the number of Personal Independence Payment (a) claims and (b) awards made in Rhondda Cynon Taff in each of the last ten years.

Data on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims and awards can be found on Stat-Xplore. The requested data on claims can be found on the ‘PIP Registrations’ dataset by going to ‘Geography’, ‘National – Regional – LAs – OAs’, ‘DWP Policy Ownership’ and then following the drop downs to Wales and then to Rhondda Cynon Taff. The same filtering can be done on the ‘PIP Clearances’ dataset, while additionally choosing ‘Awarded’ from ‘Clearance Type Detail’ to pick out awards made.
