Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people with Parkinson’s disease with an indefinite disability living allowance award received a (a) one-year award (b) two-year award or (c) no award following reassessment for personal independence payments in the latest period for which figures are available.

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

Detailed Reassessment Outcome statistics for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can be found at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/personal-independence-payment-april-2013-to-october-2017

Table 8D of the “Personal Independence Payment: DLA to PIP reassessment outcomes, October 2017” tables shows the outcomes of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claimants reassessed for PIP by their main disabling condition. Please note this is not broken down by the length of DLA award but will give the DLA reassessment outcome for people with Parkinson’s disease.
