</p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><ul><li>Data excludes claimants who did
not previously receive a mobility component on DLA.</li><li>PIP mobility award shows
the mobility award at the first DWP decision on each reassessment claim (i.e. they
reflect outcomes prior to any reconsideration, appeal action and award review), where
that decision was made between 8<sup>th</sup> April 2013 and 31<sup>st</sup> October
2018.</li><li>“Mobility stopped” includes claims disallowed prior to assessment, claims
disallowed post-assessment and claims withdrawn by the claimant as well as claimants
who were awarded PIP Daily Living but received no PIP Mobility award component.</li><li>Figures
exclude rising 16s and claimants who did not respond to the invitation. Rising 16s
are claimants who reach 16 years of age and so cease to be eligible for DLA but may
be eligible for PIP.</li><li>Figures include reassessment outcomes for individuals
who were aged between 16 and 64 on 8<sup>th</sup> April 2013, and include both PIP
Normal Rules and Special Rules for the Terminally Ill claims.</li><li>Totals have
been rounded to the nearest 10 and may not sum due to rounding.</li><li>Percentages
are calculated using actual figures rather than rounded figures and have been rounded
to the nearest 1%.</li><li>This is unpublished data. It should be used with caution
and it may be subject to future revision.</li></ul>
