Incapacity Benefit and Severe Disability Allowance

Incapacity Benefit (IB) and Severe Disability Allowance (SDA) were state benefits paid to people below the State Pension age who were unable to work because of illness or disability. Both benefits have been phased out and have been replaced by Employment and Support Allowance. This data also includes figures for claimants of ESA except the November 2008 Quarter.

The data represented here is an extract of data relating to IBSDA and based on the 694 geographic data zones in Glasgow. Data covers years 2003 - 2013. Full UK datasets are available from [DWP](http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/NESS/BEN/ibsda.htm). (© Crown copyright 2009).

All counts have been adjusted using a variant of controlled rounding to avoid the disclosure of any personal information. All cells have been rounded to base 5 and the total equals the sum of the disaggregation shown. Please note that any counts that are shown as zero may not be a ‘real’ zero. . Although all small area totals are within 5 of the true value, aggregating them to form Local Authority totals is not recommended due to the fact that it is the sum of rounded figures. Local Authority totals should therefore be obtained from the [DWP Tabulation Tool](http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/100pc/tabtool.html).

More information about the DWP their tabulation tool and collections can be located [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/dwp-statistics-tabulation-tool).

Further qualifications or limitations to the data can be examined [here.](http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/NESS/BEN/iben.html).
