Notes

  • Claims with entitlement to PIP at the end of each quarter, including people abroad and those whose area is unknown, so England and Wales may not add up exactly to the total. Since 2022 people in Scotland claim Adult Disability Payment from Social Security Scotland.
  • DWP adds a small random amount to every figure in Stat-Xplore to protect confidentiality (it calls this Introduced Random Error) and publishes no bound for it, so nations and regions may not add up exactly to the total. The verification page shows the gaps for information.
  • Each refresh compares the latest month with the headline of DWP's GOV.UK release, which is rounded, so it checks that month's total; every month is checked against Stat-Xplore itself, queried twice.
  • The full series is on DWP's Stat-Xplore (stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk), where anyone with a free account can build the same table.
