Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many PIP claimants who were 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 recorded as being in (i) part-time employment working fewer than 35 hours per week and (ii) full-time employment working 35 or more hours per week on 23 June 2025.

We only hold data on whether a claimant was employed or self-employed for each month up to March 2024. We do not hold any data on full-time or part-time work. Therefore, Table 1 shows the number of PIP claimants in employment in March 2024 who scored less than 4 points in all Daily Living activities, by Standard and Enhanced PIP Daily Living and primary medical condition.

Table 1. The number of PIP claimants in employment at the end of March 2024 who scored fewer than 4 points in all Daily Living activities, by Standard and Enhanced PIP Daily Living and primary medical condition.

Notes:

• Figures for England and Wales.
• Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10, ‘-‘ refers to fewer than 5 cases in this category.
• Figures include both employed and self-employed PIP claimants.
• 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.
