PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Personal Independence Payment: Appeals (18 July 2023)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many mandatory reconsiderations were lodged by PIP claimants in each year since 2017; and how many and what proportion of these challenges were successful.

Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

The number of PIP mandatory reconsiderations registered, and the number and proportion of mandatory reconsiderations that were successful, is available on Stat-Xplore: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/. In particular, you may be interested in the ‘PIP MR Registrations’ and ‘PIP MR Clearances’ tables. These tables can be broken down by month and ‘PIP MR clearances’ can be broken down by ‘MR decision’.

Guidance on how to use Stat-Xplore can be found here: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/index.html.
