PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Personal Independence Payment: Patients (11 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many individuals have had personal independence payments withdrawn after entering hospital care for more than 28 days in the last four years.

Asked by:
Ruth Cadbury (Labour)

Answer

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

Suspensions of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for admission to hospital are combined in the PIP Computer System with admissions to hospices and care homes. To distinguish hospital care from the other types of accommodation would require manual investigation of individual claimant records.
