Answer
We are rolling out Personal Independence Payment (PIP) to existing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claimants in a controlled way. We will continue to monitor performance and will carefully control the number of people we choose to invite to claim PIP each month.
The forecast estimates for the numbers of people in receipt of Disability Living Allowance we currently expect to be awarded PIP, in each year to 2020, are in the table below and may be subject to change:
2016/17 | 2017/18 | 2018/19 | 2019/20 |
450,000 | 550,000 | 350,000 | 50,000 |
Notes:
Data rounded to the nearest 50,000
Includes both adults and children reaching age 16
