<p><strong> </strong></p><p>Please find the information requested below. PIP and HDAS
both have separate estate delivery models resulting in a significant difference in
numbers of home visits. I have interpreted ‘(a) disability’ as PIP assessments.</p><p>
</p><p>This is unpublished data derived from the DWP0400 report. The numbers are unpublished
data, derived from assessment provider MI.</p><p> </p><p>(a) PIP data does not align
to DWP regions, however, I have provided the data in the relevant Lots. Lot 1 (Scotland,
north-east and north-west England), Lot 2 (Central England and Wales) and Lot 3 (South
East and South West England):</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Personal Independence
Payment completed as Home Visits Contract Lot</strong> <strong>April 18 - March 19</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lot
1 – Scotland & the North</p></td><td><p>76,890</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lot 2 –
Wales and The Midlands</p></td><td><p>116,630</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lot 3 – The
South of England</p></td><td><p>47,160</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Lot
2 numbers are higher due to the supplier business model; Lot 1 is higher than Lot
3 due to the higher proportion of rural areas.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>(b)
Work Capability Assessment data by DWP regions:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Work
Capability Assessments completed as Home Visits by DWP Region <br> April 18 - March
19</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Central</p></td><td><p>2,070</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London
& Home Counties</p></td><td><p>1,460</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>2,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North
West</p></td><td><p>1,590</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Scotland</p></td><td><p>1,350</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Southern</p></td><td><p>1,080</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>630</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Figures
rounded to the nearest 10.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>All Assessment Providers are required
to undertake home visits where there is a clinical need to do so and assess all cases
prior to routing them for assessment. In PIP, there is some contract flexibility in
the delivery of home assessments over and above the clinical requirement.</p><p> </p><p>
