<p>Available information on the cost of DWP staff managing the contracts for a) Personal
Independence Payments and b) Work Capability Assessments is as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
</p></td><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>2020-21</p></td><td><p>2021-22</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>PIP</p></td><td><p>1.146</p></td><td><p>1.055</p></td><td><p>1.132</p></td><td><p>1.360</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>WCA</p></td><td><p>1.150</p></td><td><p>1.268</p></td><td><p>1.340</p></td><td><p>1.590</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Information for earlier years is not available due to changes in the Finance
systems used and how they are structured, limiting our ability to specify the cost
of similar, comparable cohorts of DWP staff.</p>
