statistics show that in the 12 months to September 2016 there were 11,450 starts to
Work Choice of which 6,100 were on jobseeker’s allowance and 2,100 were on incapacity
related benefits (employment and support allowance, incapacity benefit or severe disablement
allowance). The additional breakdown by ESA phase is not readily available and to
