Could the DWP Dept responsible for assisting deaf and other clients with learning and communication issues, give me details as to:-

(1) How many clients requested sign language support to fill in PIP forms ?

(2) Which areas e.g. Charities, individuals (NO personal details required), requested that support ?

(3) How many BSL - booked sign language interpreters, failed to initially turn up after being booked to support those claimants by the DWP itself ?

(4) Atypical recorded delays to form filling, whilst awaiting support, which resulted in a claim re

Yours faithfully,
