Latest Pip stats tell us the answers to two questions we are often asked-
How long is PIP paid for?
'For normal rules new claims in the quarter ending January 2026:
77% of claims awarded were short term (0 to 2 years)
16% were longer term (over 2 years)
7% were ongoing'
Do the DWP offer the Client an Award pre tribunal?
'47% of appeals lodged were “lapsed” (which is where DWP changed the
decision in the customer’s favour after an appeal was lodged but
before it was heard at tribunal)'
