PIP official statistics to be published on 5 June 2014
New PIP statistics release strategy says -
‘Although limited data has started to feed through fromthe PIP Computer System, we need to wait until it has been quality assured and meaningful figures for publication can be developed. The Department is working to guidelines set by the UK Statistics Authority to ensure we are able to publish statistics that meet high quality standards at the earliest opportunity. We intend to publish Official Statistics on the PIP caseload for the first time on
5th June 2014 and quarterly thereafter. ‘
here are the stats, showing that less than quarter of claims had decision by March 2014-
here’s also rightsnet news story -
So 1,100 more special rules claims have been awarded than have been made???
later in the doc they say -
‘Some claims may not be marked as a new claim under Special Rules for Terminally Ill (SRTI) at the point of registration but can become a new SRTI claim at the point of decision, and vice versa. This could lead to totals showing more decisions than registrations for new SRTI claims.’
