Dataset: Personal Independence Payments (Clearances)

Field: Disability Category / Disability Sub Group

Description

A PIP claimant’s main disabling condition is recorded during their assessment. Customers who withdraw their claim, are disallowed prior to their assessment or who fail to attend their assessment will not have a main disabling condition recorded. Medical conditions are shown as recorded on the PIP Computer System (PIPCS).

Categories and groupings are based on DWP data standard (070313) - these may differ to International Classification of Diseases (ICD) categories and groupings.
