The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what is the cost of awarding Personal Independence Payments (PIP) to people with (a) ADHD as their sole condition and (b) ADHD as one of multiple conditions.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The information is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Information about PIP claimants’ primary conditions is published on the Stat Xplore website (https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/).
