Full PIP roll out began from July 2015 and is due to take several years to complete. This is unpublished data. It should be used with caution and it may be subject to future revision.

Notes:
- The source of the data is the PIP computer system.
- Figures are correct as at 31st January 2016 and have been rounded to the nearest 10.
- Figures are for DLA reassessment claims only and include normal rules claims and claims under the special rules for terminally ill people.
- Data is based on primary disabling condition as recorded on the PIP computer system. Claimants may often have multiple disabling conditions upon which the decision is based but only the primary condition is shown in these statistics.
- Figures are for Great Britain.
