Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many requests for mandatory reconsideration on claims for Personal Independence Payments were made in the 12 months to October 2014.

The information requested is not available at this time.

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 PIP mandatory reconsiderations in the future in line with our publication strategy https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/personal-independence-payment-release-strategy and will pre-announce our intention to do so in line with UK Statistics Authority protocols.
