Dataset: Personal Independence Payment (PIP) : Cases with Entitlement
Description
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) helps with some of the extra costs caused by long-term ill-health or a disability if you’re aged 16 to 64. PIP started to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 from 8 April 2013. Recording and clerical errors can occur within the data source - for this reason, no reliance should be placed on very small numbers obtained through Stat-Xplore.
Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant.
Known Issues
Operational measures implemented in late March in response to COVID-19 included the suspension of routine re-assessments and reviews of disability benefits – i.e. DLA to PIP reassessments and routine award reviews for those already claiming PIP. All PIP award reviews and DLA to PIP reassessments which had not yet had an assessment booked were delayed and existing awards due to expire were automatically extended to ensure continuity of financial support. Planned award reviews and some DLA reassessment activity resumed during July 2020.
