Personal Independence Payment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what information her Department holds on the (a) secondary and (b) related conditions of people claiming PIP.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
Information is collected on secondary and related conditions during a claimant’s assessment. However, information on secondary and related conditions is not held centrally for analysis and it would therefore incur disproportionate cost to the department to undertake analysis on it, as it would require the manual investigation of individual claimant records.
