Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the (a) number and (b) proportion of disability living allowance claimants with (i) psychiatric conditions and (ii) non psychiatric conditions who have lost their entitlement to disability living allowance following a personal independence payment eligibility assessment in each of the last five years.

Clearance data, which can be broken down by condition for claimants who had a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment, by whether the claim was a reassessment or new claim and by the month the claim was cleared, is available on Stat Xplore: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk

Guidance for users is available at: https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/Getting-Started.html.

Latest statistics show that under PIP the proportion of recipients with a mental health condition getting the top rates of support is over five times higher compared to Disability Living Allowance (DLA): 31% under PIP compared to 6% under DLA.
