Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many adults born after 8 April 1948 are awaiting a decision in their application to transfer from disability living allowance to personal independence payment; and how many of those people are (a) aged 66 to 69 and (b) aged 70 or older.

The Department is currently investigating a discrepancy with data on registrations to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for the quarter ending April 2019. As a result, registrations data are only available up to 31^st January 2019. We are therefore unable to release data on the number of claimants who have registered for PIP since 31^st January 2019 and therefore the number of those claimants who have not yet had a decision.

Registrations data are expected to be available in future releases when the issue has been resolved.
