Personal Independence Payment: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the (a) number of PIP recipients and (b) average PIP award amount received each month is in each (i) local authority area and (ii) constituency in Wales for the most recent period for which data is available.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
Data on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can be found on Stat Xplore. The requested data can be found in the ‘PIP Cases with Entitlement from 2019’ dataset. You can use the ‘Month’ filter to select the latest data available. You can filter by Local Authority and Constituency in Wales by using the ‘Geography’ filter to select either ‘National – Regional – LA – OAs’ or ‘Westminister Parliamentary Constituency 2024’ and to select Wales you will need to filter by ‘DWP policy ownership’ and then select ‘England and Wales’ and then ‘Wales’.
To look at the average award amounts, you can use the ‘Measures’ filter to select ‘Financial Award’ to get the award amount received.
You can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest user and, if needed, you can access guidance on how to extract the information required.
