Personal Independence Payment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what analysis has been undertaken as to the reasons why the number of individuals claiming Personal Independence Payments (PIP) has risen since July 2024.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The latest analysis undertaken by the Department on the number of people claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) was published in Annex B – DWP evidence pack as part of the Timms Review of Personal Independence Payment: interim report (Annex B – DWP evidence pack - GOV.UK). Sections 3, Trends in working-age disability benefits, and 4, Factors influencing increased claims and expenditure, provide analysis of recent caseload trends and the factors that may be contributing to growth in claims.
