Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the average length of time taken is for decisions to be made on mandatory reconsiderations for personal independence payments; and if he will make a statement.

The information requested is not currently available.

The Department is working to guidelines set by the UK Statistics Authority to ensure we are able to publish statistics that meet high quality standards at the earliest opportunity. We intend to publish official statistics on mandatory reconsideration relating to Personal Independence Payment when they are ready. The release of information will be pre-announced in line with United Kingdom Statistics Authority release protocols.
