(a) In April 2002 a more accurate method of data collection was introduced by DWP. The apparent increases for some diseases largely due to this rather than reflecting true rises in claims and assessments. In addition, from April 2002 are believed to be the figures include a small number of cases where the claimant has been assessed as suffering but with no loss of faculty.
(b) Figures for 2008 exclude a small number of cases for which the age or percentage disability had not been coded at the time of publication due to the provisional nature of the data.
(p) Provisional.
- Nil or negligible
