Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people living in Flintshire who previously received disability living allowance care component at the (a) lower, (b) middle and (c) higher rate received no personal independence payment daily living component after being invited to apply for that payment in each of the last five years.
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.
