Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people previously in receipt of higher-level disability living allowance were not awarded the mobility element of personal independence payment by (a) quarter and (b) region in 2016.

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) has two components: care and mobility. The care component has three payment rates and the mobility component two. There are therefore eleven payment rates in total. It is not clear to what ‘higher-level disability living allowance’ refers.

Various statistics on DLA to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) reassessment outcomes are available at:
