<p>On Employment Support Allowance and out of work Universal Credit, the information
requested is not readily available due to how the medical condition is recorded so
to collate and provide it would incur disproportionate cost. However, Monthly statistics
on the outcomes of Employment and Support Allowance work capability assessments are
available by primary high-level medical condition on <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/"
target="_blank">Stat-Xplore</a>. The latest statistics are available by <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/opendatabase?id=ESA_WCA_JR"
target="_blank">date of decision</a> from November 2008 to September 2023, or <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/opendatabase?id=ESA_WCA_CS"
target="_blank">date of claim start</a> from October 2008 to June 2023. Statistics
on the outcomes of Universal Credit work capability assessments (UC WCA) are available
by high-level medical condition for the period from January 2022 to November 2023
in Table 7 of the latest <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/universal-credit-work-capability-assessment-statistics-april-2019-to-december-2023"
target="_blank">UC WCA data tables</a>.</p><p> </p><p>On Disability Living Allowance
(DLA), the information requested is in the attached document.</p><p> </p><p>Points
to note:</p><ul><li>Figures are only readily available on a quarterly basis, to provide
the requested information per month would incur a disproportionate cost.</li><li>Figures
cover both DLA Adult and DLA Child on the caseload at a given month.</li><li>Figures
are rounded to the nearest 1,000.</li><li>Figures are for England and Wales only.</li><li>Figures
follow Personal Independence Payment’s (PIP) definition of main disabling conditions,
and therefore, can be compared to PIP figures.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The latest available
data on Personal Independence Payment claims can be found at <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/"
target="_blank">https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/</a>. The volume of PIP claimants with
certain conditions can be found in the ‘PIP Cases with Entitlement’ dataset by going
to ‘Disability’ and selecting the relevant conditions. To show the data since April
2013, select all months and then ‘Add to Column/Row’.</p><p> </p><p>The data is based
on primary disabling condition as recorded on the PIP computer systems. Claimants
may often have multiple disabling conditions upon which the decision is based but
only the primary condition is shown in these statistics. PIP was first introduced
in April 2013, so there is no data available before this point.</p><p> </p><p>Guidance
