To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the number of individuals claiming a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for (a) anxiety as a sole condition and (b) anxiety as one of multiple conditions.

The information is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Information about PIP claimants’ primary conditions is published on the Stat Xplore website (https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/).
