Multiple reports cite Department for Work and Pensions figures showing an increase in the number of benefit claimants where attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is recorded as the main condition. The Daily Mail states that, by April this year, there are 100,207 claimants of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) with ADHD listed as the primary condition. The outlet also says this represents a 40% rise since Labour took power, attributing the trend to changes reflected in DWP data. The reports do not provide additional breakdowns such as claimant demographics, regional variation, changes in assessment practices, or whether the increase is driven by new claims, reassessments, or demographic trends. They also do not specify the comparison period dates beyond “since Labour took power.”
