Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the average length of time was that his Department took to process a personal independence payment from (a) a motor neurone disease sufferer and (b) another disabled person in the most recent period for which data is available.

The available information on average (median) clearance times, at a national level, has been published and is available from the Personal Independence Payment statistics home page: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/personal-independence-payment-statistics.

The requested level of disaggregation by disabling condition could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
