Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, (a) how many personal independence payment (PIP) claimants who lost their entitlement to a Motability vehicle successfully appealed and were awarded a new Motability vehicle, (b) what proportion of PIP claimants whose award was reduced, or who were awarded a lower rate of PIP than they previously received for disability living allowance, so that they were no longer eligible for a Motability vehicle, successfully challenged that decision on appeal and (c) what the cost of supplying new replacement Motability vehicles has been (i) on average per person and (ii) in total over each of the last five years.

We cannot provide this data as it does not meet the quality standard required for official statistics publication

Statistics on PIP appeals, including the proportion and number of those appeals that were successful, are published online and can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics.

In addition, breakdowns of PIP reassessment claims by type of clearance (i.e. whether the claim was awarded, disallowed or withdrawn) are published online at: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/

Motability is an independent organisation and is responsible for its own management information, including information on its own operating costs.
