Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many cases in which personal independence payment assessments received zero points on initial assessment for the daily living allowance had benefit subsequently awarded (a) on mandatory assessment and (b) on appeal, in the latest period for which figures are available.

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

Information for initial disallowance decisions following a PIP assessment, including the number where the award was changed after a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) or appeal is published as part of Personal Independence Payment: Official Statistics to October 2019, in Table 5c of Data tables: “PIP award rates, clearance/outstanding times and tracking of initial decisions following a PIP assessment through to mandatory reconsiderations or appeals, to October 2019”.
