To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many claims for attendance allowance made under special rules were approved in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many claims for attendance allowance made under special rules were approved in each of the last five years.
| Attendance allowance new claim awards for special rules by Great Britain by year August 2005 to August 2009 | |
|---|---|
| Awards | |
| 2009 | 28,200 |
| 2008 | 27,400 |
| 2007 | 29,200 |
| 2006 | 27,500 |
| 2005 | 28,100 |
| Notes: | |
| 1. Caseload totals show the number of people in receipt of an allowance, and excludes people with entitlement where the payment has been suspended, for example if they are in hospital. | |
| 2. An on-flow to attendance allowance is defined as someone who is shown as in receipt of benefit on a quarterly data extract but did not appear on the previous quarterly data extract. These yearly figures are the sum of four quarterly on-flows calculated on this basis. This means that anyone flowing on and off the benefit between data extract dates will not appear in the figures. For the year to August 2008 the November 2007 data extract was unavailable for technical reasons. This means that on-flows for this year comprise on-flows from May 2008 to August 2008, from February 2008 to May 2008 and from August 2007 to February 2008. | |
| 3. Caseload figures are rounded to the nearest hundred. | |
| 4. Caution: The preferred statistics on benefits are now derived from 100 per cent. data sources. However, the 5 per cent. sample data still provide some detail not yet available from the 100 per cent. data sources, in particular, more complete information on the disabling condition of disability living allowance claimants. DWP recommends that, where the detail is only available on the 5 per cent. sample data, or disabling condition is required, the proportions derived should be scaled up to the overall 100 per cent. total for the benefit. These figures have been scaled up to the overall total. | |

| Total number of awards | 330,000 |

| 2. The estimated total number of awards represents new awards to attendance allowance liveload, and will include some cases which are not in payment. | |
| 3. A small number of renewal claims are excluded, as these people are already claiming the benefit and this information is not estimated separately. | |
| 4. Estimated expenditure relates to that part of 2010-11 that each new claimant spent on attendance allowance. On average, each new claimant in 2010-11 will have spent around half of 2010-11 receiving benefit. It is assumed that all new awards continue claiming until the end of 2010-11. | |

| Notes: 1. Figures have been rounded to the nearest £100. 2. The Family Resources Survey is a nationally representative sample of approximately 26,000 households. Since 2002-03, the Family Resources Survey has covered the whole of the United Kingdom. The Households Below Average Income series is sourced from the Family Resources Survey. 3. Data for 2007-08 were collected between April 2007 and March 2008. 4. The Family Resources Survey is known to under-record both incomes and benefit receipt so the estimates presented should be treated with caution. 5. The figures are based on a sample of households which have been adjusted for non-response using multi-purpose grossing factors which align the Family Resources Survey to Government office region population by age and sex. Estimates are subject to sampling error and remaining non-response error. 6. Attendance allowance and disability living allowance amounts have been included as income. 7. The Households Below Average Income series uses disposable household income, adjusted (or 'equivalised') for household size and composition, as an income measure as a proxy for standard of living. For the Households Below Average Income series, incomes have been equivalised using Organisations for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) equivalisation factors. Sources: 1.
