Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many people receiving Personal Independence Payment have undergone an intervention to review their entitlement.

The information requested regarding interventions is not currently available.

Information on claims made to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) broken down by condition is not available. By 21 October 2014, 1,535 people classified as having a movement disorder as their primary condition were in receipt of PIP.

The Department has robust processes in place to assure the quality of Personal Independence Payment assessments and decisions about benefit entitlement, through regular audit and quality checks by specialist teams. We continue to review processes to ensure they remain appropriate and effective.
