Expected changes in future releases
From the September 2023 release, the Department is extending the Customer Journey Statistics on initial (New Claim and DLA Reassessment) PIP decisions to include decisions following an Award Review (AR) or Change of Circumstance (CoC) – tracking these decisions through to Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) and appeal. The extended statistics will be updated on a quarterly basis thereafter.
Development work has also commenced on the Annual DLA to PIP Reassessment stats which are updated each December. The intention is to extend the statistics to include second and subsequent attempts to claim PIP following a DLA claim, rather than just the first attempt as in the latest update (December 2022), with a count of the number of attempts, the outcomes of both the first and latest attempts, and the time elapsed between first and latest attempts.
Your feedback on these or any other development is welcomed.
