The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

Under the provisions of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Transitional Regulations 2013, all claimants of disability living allowance (DLA) who were under the age of 65 on 8th April 2013 will be invited to claim PIP regardless of their age at the time they’re invited or the status of their DLA claim.

For your information the latest available data on PIP clearances split by age in whole years and by type of clearance (i.e. whether the claim was awarded, disallowed or withdrawn) for both new claims and reassessed claims, can be found at https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/
