| 1. All incapacity benefit/severe disablement allowance awards are non-means tested; figures include national insurance contributions only cases. | |
| 2. Figures are based on a 5 per cent. sample and are therefore subject to a degree of sampling variation. | |
| 3. The 'terminally ill' category comes from an indicator on the incapacity benefit/severe disablement allowance data; no such indicator exists on the income support data. | |
| 4. The best statistics on benefits are now derived from 100 per cent. data sources. However, the 5 per cent. sample data still provides some detail not yet available from the 100 per cent. data sources. | |
| 5. Caseload figures have been uprated in line with WPLS 100 per cent. data and rounded to the nearest 100. Totals may not sum due to rounding. | |
