Personal Independence Payment

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people are claiming the enhanced mobility component of the personal independence payment by each eligible health condition.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The Department regularly publishes Personal Independence Payment (PIP) statistics. The 'PIP Cases with Entitlement' dataset on Stat-Xplore, which contains the number of people entitled to PIP by mobility award status and health condition, has been suspended due to technical issues which are adversely affecting the Stat-Xplore site itself. This data series will be re-instated as soon as this issue has been resolved. The ‘PIP Clearances’ dataset is unaffected and provides the number of people who were awarded PIP, by mobility award status and health condition, each month from April 2013 to July 2024.
