Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many 16-year olds who were previously in receipt of disability living allowance have had their application for personal independence payments rejected in the last year.

Data on the number of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims cleared, by a range of breakdowns including age, the clearance type and whether the claim was a new claim or a Disability Living Allowance to PIP reassessment claim, is available using 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.
