Personal Independence Payment: Veterans

Asked by Grahame MorrisLabourDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 3 July 2025UIN 63295

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Personal Independence Payment claimants are veterans with service-related health conditions in the latest period for which data is available.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The Department does not centrally hold data on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants’ previous occupation, so we are not able to determine which claimants are veterans.
