Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what additional (a) resources and (b) funding her Department has been allocated to process back-dated claims for personal independence payments.

As outlined in the Written Statements of 19^th January 2018 (HCWS414) and 15^th June 2018 (HCWS767), my Department will be carrying out administrative exercises to identify anyone who may be entitled to more as a result of the judgments.

The administrative cost will depend on a number of factors, including the number of cases identified.
