Table 7B of the publication “Personal Independence Payment: April 2013 to October 2018” provides statistics on Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) clearances by type and month of clearance, a copy of which can be found here:

Not all MRs will relate to the outcome of the PIP assessment, but other aspects of the PIP process.
