<p>The median clearance time from registration to DWP decision for Personal Independence
Payment claims cleared under normal rules from 1<sup>st</sup> May 2018 – 30<sup>th</sup>
April 2019, the latest 12-month period for which data is available is 100 calendar
days, which is approximately 14 weeks. The median clearance time for claims decided
in April 2019 was 13 weeks, down by over two thirds since July 2014.</p><p> </p><p>Source:
PIP ADS</p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><ul><li>The status of claims as 'normal
rules' is shown as at the DWP decision. It is possible for claims to transition between
normal/special rules during the course of the claimant journey.</li><li>The 'Registration
to DWP decision (end to end)' clearance time is measured as the average time between
the date of registration of the claim and the date of the DWP decision to either award
or disallow the claim. It does not include claims that were withdrawn by the claimant
or claims that were disallowed by DWP pre-referral to the Assessment Providers (e.g.
for failure to meet basic eligibility criteria or failure to return the Part 2 form
within the time limit).</li><li>The median time is the middle value if you were to
order all the times within the distribution from lowest value to highest value. The
median is presented here instead of the mean because the mean can be unduly affected
by outlying cases (e.g. cases were the person has been hard to reach due to being
in prison, hospital, failed to attend the assessment on numerous occasions etc.)</li><li>Great
Britain only.</li><li>This is unpublished data. It should be used with caution and
it may be subject to future revision.</li><li>The median clearance time is rounded
to the nearest whole day.</li></ul>
