star this property answer text <p /> <p>Information on the long term health conditions or disabilities of claimants to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is not collected at initial claim stage. The published and future release strategy therefore only includes this information in relation to successful claims in payment. Such information has been published since June 2014 and can be accessed using the Stat-Xplore tool - <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Guidance on how to extract the information required can be found at: <a href="https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/Stat-Xplore_User_Guide.htm" target="_blank">https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/Stat-Xplore_User_Guide.htm</a>.</p><p> </p><p>As we made clear in our response to the first Independent Review of PIP carried out by Paul Gray, understanding how the PIP claiming process is working and how it affects people is very important. We continually monitor all elements of the PIP process through a combination of regular operational checks, performance monitoring and ad hoc focus on particular areas as required. As part of our performance monitoring, we are considering how we could best implement a comprehensive evaluation strategy which builds on the early evaluation research already published in July 2014.</p>
