Table 1(a) below shows the level of Care component a Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claimant in the Flintshire Local Authority area received prior to them being reassessed onto Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and being awarded Nil Daily Living. This data is split by calendar year from the first PIP reassessment clearances in 2014 to 31st October 2018, the latest date for which data is available.

For additional context, Tables 1(b) and 1(c) show the level of DLA Care Component in the Flintshire Local Authority area received prior to being reassessed onto PIP and being awarded the Standard Daily Living component and the Enhanced Daily Living component respectively over the period 2014 – 31st October 2018. For reference, 2,760 claimants in Flintshire were given a PIP award on reassessment from DLA over this time period.
