Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Written Statement of 2 November 2017, HCWS218, on social security, how many previously unsuccessful personal independence payment (PIP) claimants from Garston and Halewood constituency are now eligible for PIP under the updated PIP guidelines.
Answered by Sarah Newton
I refer the Hon. Member to the answer I gave on 13 November 2017 to Question UIN111728.
‘The Department estimates that approximately 10,000 claimants will benefit from this change in 2022/23. However, the Department cannot reliably apply this methodology retrospectively to past disallowances.’
The Department is not able to reliably estimate the number of past disallowances who would benefit from this change. Therefore it is not possible to estimate how many previously unsuccessful claims from Garston and Halewood are now eligible.
