Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, in which parliamentary constituencies individuals reside who have been subject to migration of benefits from disability living allowance to personal independence payments.

Since October 2013, we have been inviting existing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claimants with fixed term awards, those reaching age 16 or where there has been a change in circumstances, to claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Roll out of this activity was introduced in a controlled way and became national across Great Britain from July 2015.

We started full PIP roll out in July 2015 in a controlled way in specific postcode areas and extended to all postcodes in Great Britain from October 2015. Full PIP roll out involves inviting those with long-term or indefinite awards of DLA to claim PIP on a random basis. We will continue to roll out in a safe and controlled manner ensuring there is sufficient capacity in place to proceed.

Information on the number of claimants who have claimed PIP as a result of this activity, by a range of geographic breakdowns including parliamentary constituency, is available from Stat-Xplore: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/. Guidance on how to use Stat-Xplore can be found here: https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/index.html.
