Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many PIP applications have been disallowed in the last 12 months.

The latest available data on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) clearances can be found on Stat-Xplore. In particular, the requested data can be found in ‘PIP Clearances’ dataset by going to ‘Clearance Type Detail’, choosing ‘Disallowed’ from the drop-down list and selecting the most recent 12 months from the ‘Month’ drop-down menu.

You may also wish to filter for “DWP policy ownership” under ‘Geography’ due to the devolution of some disability benefits to Scotland.

You can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest user and, if needed, you can access guidance on how to extract the information required.
