The regional picture

Region matters. So does condition.

Regional new-claim award rates (May 2023 to April 2026), from lowest to highest.

Same condition, different region.

Regional new-claim award rates for selected conditions (May 2023 to April 2026). Cells with fewer than 200 decisions in the region are omitted.

What the pattern shows

The lowest-award seats cluster in urban West Midlands (Birmingham, the Black Country). The highest-award seats cluster in coastal and post-industrial areas of England and along the North East. Award rates track claim mix, deprivation, and the profile of conditions people present with, alongside assessment practice.

This data cannot attribute cause. Two seats with the same rate can look very different underneath: one heavy in psychiatric claims, the other in musculoskeletal. Read each constituency page for its own condition mix.

Methodology and caveats

Definitions. Award rate = Awarded / (Awarded + Disallowed), new claims decided in the window, withdrawn excluded. Rates shown only where at least 500 decisions.

Window. May 2023 to April 2026. Caseload snapshot: April 2026.

Scotland. Scotland has migrated to Adult Disability Payment; Scottish constituencies have no recent PIP new-claim decisions and are shown without award rates or rank.
