Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimates his Department has made of how many people previously on disability living allowance have had their claim for personal independence payments refused.

The Department is working to guidelines set by the UK Statistics Authority to ensure we are able to publish statistics that meet high quality standards at the earliest opportunity. We intend to publish official statistics on reassessment claims to PIP in due course.
