Personal Independence Payment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many AR1 forms were returned late in 2020.

Answer

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

AR1s are not identified as ‘late’ in the PIP statistical datasets and there are numerous reasons for return periods to be extended past the original time limit. Obtaining the necessary data would either require a bespoke system data extract, or a manual examination of each individual PIP claim, both of which could only be undertaken at disproportionate cost.
