Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many PIP claimants awarded (a) at least eight but fewer than 12 points in the daily living component and fewer than four points in a single daily living category and (b) at least 12 points in the daily living component but fewer than four points in a single daily living category were (i) in receipt of and (ii) eligible for out-of-work benefits as of 23 June 2025.

We only hold data on PIP claimants who are also in receipt of out of work benefits. We do not hold data on their eligibility for benefits they are not in receipt of. Table 1 shows the number of PIP claimants in receipt of out of work benefits in February 2025 who scored fewer than 4 points in all Daily Living activities, by Standard and Enhanced PIP Daily Living and primary medical condition.

• Figures for all claimants in receipt of PIP and out of work benefits, this includes claimants with suspended payments.
• PIP claimants scoring between 8 and 11 points across all ten Daily Living activities are awarded Standard Daily Living.
• PIP claimants scoring 12 points or more across all ten Daily Living activities are awarded Enhanced Daily Living.
