</p><p>Notes:</p><p> </p><p>1. PIP Reassessment outcome shows the outcome of 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 1st October
2013 and 31st October 2017.</p><p>2. For each individual who has a PIP reassessment
outcome their PIP entitlement has been compared to their DLA entitlement at the time
of their PIP reassessment registration.</p><p>3. Main disabling condition used is
the disability recorded on the DLA administrative system for each individual. This
is used because disability information is recorded on the PIP computer systems only
for the group of cases who have a PIP assessment report.</p><p>4. Claimants may often
have multiple disabling conditions upon which their entitlement decision is based
but only the primary condition is shown in these statistics. It is possible that a
reassessment claim could have a different main disabling condition recorded on the
DLA and PIP systems.</p><p>5. Figures include reassessment outcomes for individuals
who were aged between 16 and 64 on 8th April 2013, and include both PIP Normal Rules
and Special Rules for the Terminally Ill claims.</p><p>6. Figures exclude withdrawn
cases.</p><p>7. The definition of “Parkinson’s disease” includes a small number of
claimants who have “Parkinson’s syndrome”.</p><ol start="8"><li>The breakdown of data
