Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the proportion of people with Parkinson’s disease who have received enhanced levels of personal independence payments and the ongoing award in (a) Alyn and Deeside constituency and (b) the UK.
Due to a small, potentially disclosive, population size, the information requested for claimants with Parkinson’s disease in the Alyn and Deeside constituency is not available.
Between April 2013 and 31st July 2018, 30% of successful Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants in Great Britain with Parkinson’s disease were awarded the highest possible award (enhanced mobility and enhanced daily living components of PIP) and an ongoing award.
Table 1: Volumes and proportion of successful PIP claimants with Parkinson’s disease who received the described awards (April 2013 to July 31st 2018)
| Claimants awarded PIP with Parkinson’s disease | Enhanced Daily Living, Enhanced Mobility and Ongoing Award | Proportion of successful PIP claimants with Parkinson’s disease awarded the highest level of award and an on-going award |
Great Britain | 9,560 | 2,860 | 30% |
