Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many (a) employment support allowance, (b) personal independence payment and (c) disability living allowance claimants had a request for mandatory reconsideration of her Department’s initial decision outstanding on 31 March 2020.

The specific information requested on outstanding Mandatory Reconsiderations (MRs) against initial decisions on an Employment and Support Allowance, Personal Independence Payment and Disability Living Allowance claim is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
