Personal Independence Payment: Hartlepool
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of PIP recipients are in employment in Hartlepool.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
At the end of March 2024, 14% of PIP recipients in Hartlepool were in employment.
Notes:
- HMRC data is used to determine whether a claimant was in employment. HMRC data covers up to the end of the tax year 2023/24, therefore March 2024 has been provided as the latest data available.
- Self-employment data from the financial year 2023/24 is not available until the end of the 2024/25 financial year, so self-employment data for the financial year 2022/23 has been used as a proxy for 2023/24 instead.
- The data provided includes both normal rules and special rules for end of life claimants.
