Personal Independence Payment: Employment

Asked by Mr Toby PerkinsLabourDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 7 April 2025UIN 42433

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the number of working people in receipt of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) who will be forced to leave work if they cease to receive PIP.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

No estimate has been made. The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost, as it would require a bespoke survey of claimants.
