	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2019 answer text <p>With reference to Answer 209781, between April 2013 and October 2018, 5,630 Personal Independence Payments (PIP) claims were registered under Special Rules for Terminally Ill people (SRTI) by claimants who had previously been disallowed at initial decision under normal rules prior to 30<sup>th</sup> April 2018. To put this into context, over 4 million applications to PIP were made between April 2013 and 31<sup>st</sup> October 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Of these 5,630 initial claims under normal rules, 3,160 (56%) had been disallowed at assessment, 310 (6%) had been disallowed for failing to attend assessment, 2,000 (36%) had been disallowed for failing to return a PIP2 form and 160 (3%) had been disallowed for other reasons prior to an assessment taking place.</p><p /><p>Notes:</p><ul><li>These figures include new claims and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to PIP reassessment claims.</li><li>It is possible for claims to transition between Normal Rules and SRTI during the claimant journey. Included in these figures are claimants assessed under normal rules at the point of initial decision whose subsequent claim was treated as SRTI at the point of registration.</li><li>These figures include claimants whose case was disallowed at initial decision after assessment, for failing to attend assessment, for failing to return the PIP2 form or for failing lay rules. This does not take into account any mandatory reconsideration or Appeal action so some of these claimants may have subsequently been awarded PIP.</li><li>Only the most recent initial clearance is counted. For example, a claimant may have had multiple disallowances under Normal Rules for different claims. In such a case, only the most recent initial disallowance to the subsequent registration is counted in this data.</li><li>Only the closest subsequent registration to the initial clearance as outlined above is counted. For example, a claimant may have made more than one subsequent claim under SRTI. In such a case, only the closest subsequent registration is counted in this data.</li><li>The point of application is taken as the day the claimant registered a claim to PIP as recorded on the PIP computer system.</li><li>This is unpublished data from the PIP computer system’s (PIP CS) management information. It should be used with caution and it may be subject to future revision.</li><li>Figures are rounded to the nearest 10.</li><li>Figures cover disallowances up to and including 30<sup>th</sup> April 2018 and subsequent registrations made up to and including 31<sup>st</sup> October 2018.</li><li>There has been a slight adjustment to the figures as presented in Answer 209781 to account for claimants who made multiple applications under both Normal Rules and SRTI.</li><li>GB only.</li></ul><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>Under the Social Security (Notification of Deaths) Regulations 2012 and s125 of Social Security Administration Act 1992 date of death is provided to the Department for all registered deaths.
