Total | 16.7 | 7.4 | 5.1 | 6.1 | 5.7 |
Points to note:
- Figures are for England and Wales only.
- Figures are split for children and adults. Adults include those of working age and those over state pension age.
- Reassessment statistics count individual people who have registered PIP claims that are classified as DLA reassessments, where there is a matching DLA record.
- Children are usually invited to claim PIP on or shortly after their 16th birthday. If they choose to apply for PIP this will be considered a reassessment.
