Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
Information on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants by psychiatric disorder and constituency for January 2020 and April 2025 can be found on Stat Xplore.
The requested data can be found in the ‘PIP Cases with Entitlement from 2019’ dataset. You can use the ‘Month’ filter produce figures for January 2020 or April 2025. You can expand the ‘Disability’ filter to narrow to ‘Psychiatric disorders’. You can use the ‘Geography’ filter to produce a breakdown by parliamentary constituency.
You can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest user. Guidance on how to use Stat-Xplore is also available here: Personal Independence Payment data on Stat-Xplore: user guide - GOV.UK.
