answer text <p>Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is claimed by people with a range of health conditions and disabilities, many of which are degenerative or life limiting and the Department treats the death of any claimant sympathetically. New Claims made under Special Rules for Terminal Illness (SRTI) are fast tracked and are being cleared in 5 working days on average (as at the end of April 2020, the latest available published data).</p><p> </p><p>The cause of death of claimants to PIP is not collated centrally by the Department.</p><p> </p><ul><li>Between April 2018 and 31<sup>st</sup> October 2019, 1,360,420 registrations were made for PIP New Claims and Reassessments from DLA.
