Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of PIP recipients were in some form of (a) work and (b) training on 25 March 2025.

You can find the proportion of PIP recipients in employment in the evidence pack that was provided alongside the ‘Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper’, which shows that 17% of PIP claimants were in employment in March 2024.

Data for March 2025 is not currently available for analysts to access; the latest relevant data is for the financial year ending March 2024.

The department does not hold data regarding PIP recipients in training.
