Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claimants of personal independence payment have had their payments stopped as a result of employment.

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is designed to help people with long-term health conditions or disabilities to lead full, active, and independent lives.

PIP awards are determined on the basis of the needs arising from a long-term health condition or disability and are paid irrespective of employment status, therefore payments do not stop simply because someone has become employed.
