Disability Living Allowance Claims

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a tax-free social security benefit intended for adults and children with a long-term illness or a disability. DLA is gradually being replaced with Personal Independent Payment (PIP). Anyone over the age of 16 making a new claim must apply for PIP. Details of these changes can be examined at the [GOV.UK Website](https://www.gov.uk/dla-disability-living-allowance-benefit/overview)

Data shown is an extract of data relating to Disability Living Allowance claims based on the 694 geographic datazones in the Glasgow conurbation and covers the years 2003 - 2013. Full UK datasets are available from the [Department of Work and Pensions](http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/NESS/BEN/dla.htm).

Data shows total number of claimants, claimants age range, claimants gender, claim duration, rate of mobility component received, rate of care component received. Data is also included for the current DLA Rates for the various Mobility and Care components.

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).

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