Notes
- (a) Figures in brackets show the number of females. Where no figure is given, all cases were male.
- (b) See also Tables IIS06 and IIS07.
- (c) See also Tables IIS08 and IIS09.
- (d) The following diseases were prescribed after January 1 1991:
- Disease Number: D11; date prescribed: April 19 1993.
- Disease Number: D12; date prescribed: September 13 1993.
- Disease Number: D8A; date prescribed: April 6 2006.
- (e) Due to work in the mines, exposure to bis(chloromethyl) ether, or zinc, calcium or strontium chromates.
- (f) From 9 April 1997, the definitions of these diseases were changed to admit unilateral diffuse pleural thickening. Previously this was required to be bilateral.
- (g) From 9 April 1997, changes to the definitions of this disease allowed more claimants to qualify. The large number of assessed cases in 1997 and 1998 results from this change.
- (h) In April 2002 a more accurate method of data collection was introduced by DWP. The apparent increases for some diseases are believed to be
- largely due to this rather than reflecting true rises in claims and assessments. In addition, from April 2002 the figures include a small number
- of cases where the claimant has been assessed as suffering but with no loss of faculty.
- .. Not applicable.
- - Nil or negligible
- To maintain the anonymity of customers all 100% data has been rounded to the nearest 5. Therefore totals may not sum.
- (p) Provisional.
