These are the second official statistics to be released on Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

The statistics have been developed using guidelines set out by the UK Statistics Authority, and while they undergo evaluation they are labelled as experimental statistics.

These statistics cover new claim caseload (cases in payment), new claims registrations, decisions made and awards up to 31 July 2014.

The statistics on PIP decisions show that 79% of those, previously on Disability Living Allowance (DLA) who were reassessed for PIP, were given an award.

In contrast 55% of new claimant decisions led to PIP being awarded.
