PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(11 June 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people are claiming PIP and not in work in Leeds North West constituency.

Asked by:
Katie White (Labour)

Answer

At the end of March 2024, 2,700 people in Leeds North West parliamentary constituency were in receipt of PIP but were not in employment.

Notes:

- HMRC data is used to determine whether a claimant was in employment. HMRC data covers up to the end of the tax year 2023/24, therefore March 2024 has been provided as the latest data available.

- Self-employment data from the financial year 2023/24 is not available until the end of the 2024/25 financial year, so self-employment data for the financial year 2022/23 has been used as a proxy for 2023/24 instead.

- People without any employment record in the HMRC data, as well as those who have been confirmed to not be in employment in the data, have been considered not employed.

- The data provided includes both normal rules and special rules for end of life claimants.

- The volume provided is rounded to the nearest 100.
