It should be used with caution and it may be subject to future revision. In particular, it may take some time for a death to be notified to the Department, so the figure for October 2020 is likely to increase with the inclusion of future data.<\/li>
- Volumes of off-flows have fluctuated due to the Operational measures implemented in response to Covid-19. In particular, due to the suspension of Department instigated Reassessment and Review activity from March 2020 to July 2020. Planned Award Reviews restarted in July 2020.<\/li>
- These data include claimants whose claim ceased as the result of an Award Review, Change of Circumstances or the claimant\u2019s death as well as for other reasons. Claimants may see their PIP claim resume as a result of a mandatory reconsideration or appeal.<\/li>
- PIP data includes claimants awarded both under normal rules and special rules for terminally ill claimants.<\/li>
- Claimants receiving PIP include those whose claims are in payment and those whose payment is suspended or part-suspended.<\/li>
- Data covers Great Britain only.<\/li><\/ul>"}
