New statistics highlight the parts of Birmingham and the West Midlands with the largest proportions of working-age residents receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP), a disability benefit. At the top of the list is Birmingham Northfield, where 13.5% of eligible residents are claimants – a total exceeding 10,600 individuals.
This data provides insight into the areas with significant numbers of people relying on PIP to support those experiencing disabilities. Understanding these figures aids in recognising communities with greater need for such support provisions and helps inform service planning within the region.
