	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>No such estimate has been made. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can be paid to disabled people irrespective of their employment status and, as such, no details of an individual’s employment status are gathered during the course of their claim or award.</p><p> </p><p>PIP is a more modern, dynamic and fairer benefit than its predecessor, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and focuses support on those experiencing the greatest barriers to living independently. 31% of people claiming PIP receive the highest level of support, compared to 15% of DLA’s working-age claimants and 39% of reassessment claimants are getting a higher award on PIP compared to when they were on DLA.</p><p>People with a health condition or disability, who require additional support getting to and from work, can apply for an Access to Work grant.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 23/04/2019 14:10:07 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
