The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of PIP claimants currently have more than four points in any one category.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The information you requested can be found in Table 2.27 in the Pathways to Work: Evidence Pack: Chapter 2.

The assessment of the Office for Budget Responsibility, published at the Spring Statement, is that most of the current claimants of PIP Daily Living who did not score four points in any of the activities at their last assessment will, nevertheless, because of behaviour changes, be awarded PIP Daily Living again after the proposed eligibility changes take effect.
