answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>Whilst designing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Payment (PIP), the Department considered the relevance of what data should be collected and recorded to support the good management of a DLA or PIP claim. The education status of a claimant is not relevant to a DLA or PIP claim and thus it is not collected for the administration of either a PIP or a DLA claim.</p><p> </p><p>You may be interested to know that there are published statistics available on Stat-Xplore on the number of DLA claims in payment which can be split by region and by age. Filtering on claimants who are aged 15 and 16 will show the number of DLA claimants in payment who are due to be transferred to PIP.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>We are absolutely committed to improving the overall Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimant experience as this is what claimants rightly expect and deserve. We will continue to engage with stakeholders and disabled people to deliver further improvements where needed and are committed to ensuring that everyone has the same opportunity to lead a full, active and independent life.</p><p> </p><p>The design of PIP has always been on the basis of 16 being the appropriate lower age-limit for claims. That has been the case since the first consultation on replacing Disability Living Allowance with PIP took place in 2010 and through subsequent consultations on the design of the assessment criteria and the other detailed processes to support claims, including the needs and requirements of young people reaching age 16 and younger adults more widely.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 02/07/2019 12:24:27 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
