For new claims (ie, not DLA reassessments), and not terminal illness assessments:

Awarded PIP (any rate): 44%, of which:

3% Mobility only
29% Daily Living only
60% awarded one enhanced component
29% awarded both enhanced components

17% of Mandatory Reconsiderations result either in an award (where none was made before) or higher award than before

71% of appeals to Tribunal result in a higher award (I THINK, rather than just more points which may not result in a higher award)

Analysis

*A 44% success claim rate is fairly constant with recent previous annual quarterly-reported outcomes. This, presumably, increases slightly with a successful MR / Tribunal. Slightly more than half of claimants, therefore, receive no PIP.

*The most disabled 29% of those claimants who receive any award receive the highest (both components enhanced). This equates to approximately the most disabled 13-14% of ALL claimants

*Very few of those who get an award have it for Mobility only, but nearly a third of those who get an award have it for Daily Living only, and two-thirds have it for both

*Of those who get an award, most have one enhanced component

*The chance of getting an award, or having it increased, at Mandatory Consideration is very small - a rate that has remained fairly constant despite DWP claiming the MR process has been made more robust recently (ie, to reduce the very high success rate at appeal by correcting 'error' at this stage). No change there, then, so we may expect the appeal success rate to remain around as high (the latest - 71% - is higher than ever, which makes DWP look bad, though it may not care about that...)

Having analysed the new claim (ie, not DLA reassessments) award rates for each of the 12 months to July '18, the rate drops from 44% to 41%. DWP's 'headline' stats state 44% - but that's the average from the rollout of PIP in '13 'til July '18. Broadly speaking PIP has become just slightly harder to get any award of over the years, so the figures show, hence the 41% success rate, which I suggest more accurately reflects matters than the average over five years. If excluding withdrawn (by claimant) claims, the figure is 40%, so 40% is the ACTUAL award rate prior to success at MR/appeal.

Pos- MR/appeal I guess it increases to low-40s.

Over the past 12 months 69% of DLA reassessments result in some PIP award, so over one-third of former DLA recipients (some of whom may have been on the lowest Daily Living rate, of course) receive nothing. In the interest of balance, some former DLA recipients receive more under PIP (as well as some less and over a third nothing).

For the 12 mnths to July the MR success rate was 19% (16% in July only)..

Annual PIP award rates for new claims (ie, not inc DLA reassessments) from Jan '14 to present:

Jan - Dec

2014 - 52%
2015 - 43%
2016 - 42%
2017 - 40%
2018 (Jan - Jul) - 39%

Analysis

The year-on-year reduction in award rate MAY suggest that DWP is working to an award rate of around 40% (unless it continues to drop). The gap of nine percentage points between '14 and '15 may be seen as a 'bedding-in' of assessment (given that PIP began mid-'13) - to include an intention to reduce the rate, as that is a large change. From '15 the award rate largely stabilises, with small year-on-year reduction.

These figures do suggest that DWP has effectively narrowed the goalposts over time. However, although MR success rates have not proportionately increased (or increased at all), appeal success rates have increased, which goes a limited way to redressing the reducing rate and may also explain increased appeals.

What I haven't analysed is the TYPE (level) of successful claim - the levels of each component - to see if, and how, that's changed over time. Is there a trend of lowering awards over time?

What we can say is that awards per se have been getting harder to get (before appeal outcome, at least). But whether getting both components instead of one, and whether getting the enhanced components instead of standard, is harder to get is unknown to me.

Surprising to see how the main reason for PIP claims is mental health far more than anything else.
