Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many disability living allowance claimants in (a) Wansbeck constituency, (b) North East England and (c) the UK who have reapplied for personal independence payment have been unsuccessful in their applications.

The available data on clearances of claims by type (i.e. awarded, disallowed or withdrawn) to Personal Independence Payment (PIP), by a range of breakdowns including whether they were new claimants or Disability Living Allowance to PIP reassessment claimants and to a range of geographical levels within Great Britain, 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. Information regarding Northern Ireland is a matter for the Northern Ireland Office.
