Personal Independence Payment

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the average waiting time was for a Personal Independence Payment reassessment after a claimant has reported improved health in the latest period for which data is available.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

PIP clearance times for New Claims and Reassessments can be found in the latest Personal Independence Payment statistics to January 2025 - GOV.UK.
