<p>The requested information for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) applications
is not available as information on PIP claimants’ disabling conditions is not collected
at the initial claim application stage. Only those who have a disability assessment
determination decision will have a primary disabling condition recorded for them.
The Department does not therefore hold data on the number of individuals with a particular
condition who make a claim for PIP.</p><p> </p><p>The latest available data on PIP
claims in payment, including by main disabling condition and geography (e.g. local
authority), are published on Stat-Xplore: <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk"
target="_blank">https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk</a>. To filter for mental health illness,
select ‘Psychiatric Disorders’ from the Disability menu on the left.</p><p> </p><p>Guidance
on how to use Stat-Xplore can be found here: <a href="https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/index.html"
target="_blank">https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/index.html</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>These data relate to the claimant’s main disabling condition. Claimants may
often have multiple disabling conditions, but these cannot be identified from the
data the department holds. Therefore there may be other claimants in receipt of PIP
who have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder who are not captured in the above
data.</p>
