Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will publish the indicators for agreed outcomes for (a) personal independence payment health assessments and (b) work capability assessments; and if he will publish the performance against those indicators for each year since 2010.
We have interpreted ‘agreed outcomes’ as benefit award rates. There are no indicators in relation to agreed outcomes for either Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments or Work Capability Assessments (WCAs).
The Department routinely publishes information relating to award outcomes on a quarterly basis.
