Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the number of people who (a) receive and (b) will receive (i) the daily living allowance and (ii) the enhanced Personal Independence Payment after the measures in her Pathways to Work Green Paper are enacted.

• As a result of the PIP 4-point policy, in 29/30, we expect 1.1 million working age PIP claimants to receive the standard daily living component of PIP and 2.2 million working age PIP claimants to receive the enhanced daily living component.

• In the absence of the PIP 4-point policy, in 29/30 we would have expected 1.8 million working age PIP claimants to receive the standard daily living component of PIP and 2.3 million working age PIP claimants to receive the enhanced daily living component.

• As of January 2025, there are 2.9 million working-age claimants receiving a PIP daily living award.
