</strong></p><p>Notes</p><ul><li>Initial decisions are up to January 2019, whilst
MR and appeals data is up to March 2019.</li><li>Data has been rounded to the nearest
10.</li><li>PIP data includes normal rules and special rules for the terminally ill
claimants.</li><li>Disallowances include those pre-referral to the assessment providers
(AP) that have been disallowed due to failure of basic eligibility criteria or non-return
of the Part 2 form within the time limit and have not been marked as requiring additional
support, as well as those post-referral to the AP that have been disallowed following
the assessment due to the claimant not scoring enough points at the assessment to
be awarded the benefit, or the claimant failing to attend the assessment without good
reason.</li><li>The number of people who did not have a decision changed at appeal
are included in the number of people who did not have a decision changed at MR – therefore
these two figures cannot be added together.</li><li>Appeals data taken from the DWP
PIP computer system’s management information. Therefore this appeal data may differ
from that held by Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service for various reasons such
as delays in data recording and other methodological differences in collating and
preparing statistics.</li><li>Claimants who have received benefit decisions more recently
may not yet have had time to complete the claimant journey and progress to MR or appeal.</li></ul><p>
