<p>The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur
disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>From 31<sup>st</sup> May 2019, new claimants
to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) whose award would otherwise have had a review
after they had reached State Pension age, have been receiving an ongoing award and
will be subject to a light touch review at 10 years. From 9<sup>th</sup> July this
year, we also began moving existing PIP claimants with a scheduled review after they
have reached state pension age onto ongoing awards with a light touch review after
10 years. For these existing claimants, changes to their award duration are taking
place prior to their scheduled award review. This means that claimants who we identify
as benefiting from the change will not be sent a review form or undergo a review or
further assessment until the 10-year light touch point is reached.</p>
