Changes in this release
These statistics were independently reviewed by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) to meet the highest standard of Trustworthiness, Quality and Value to become Accredited Official Statistics.
The OSR formally confirmed the assessment in September 2024 and the statistics have been re-badged as such from this December 2024 release onwards.
The ‘PIP Cases with Entitlement’ dataset on Stat-Xplore has been re-instated. Note, the dataset has been split into two separate series, the first covering data from April 2013 up to and including December 2018, and the second from January 2019 to latest available month (October 2024). The figures for both data periods remain the same as those which were previously published at 17 September 2024.
