Details
The latest release of these statistics can be found in the collection of Personal Independence Payment statistics.
These official statistics include data up to 31 July 2023 for:
- caseloads (cases with entitlement)
- registrations
- clearances and awards, including award types & review periods
- award reviews and changes of circumstance
- Mandatory Reconsiderations (MR)

Changes in this release
From this September 2023 release onwards, the Department for Work and Pensions has extended the Customer Journey statistics on initial (New Claim and DLA Reassessment) PIP decisions to include decisions following an award review – tracking these decisions through to Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) and appeal. This includes planned Award Reviews and those arising from a Change of Circumstance. The extended statistics will be updated on a quarterly basis.
Expected changes in future releases
From December 2023 the Annual DLA to PIP Reassessment statistics will be extended 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). This will include 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 this or any other development is welcomed.
