<br></strong></p><p><strong>Source:</strong> Application data is derived from administrative
data held by the DWP and assessment data provided by the Healthcare Provider.</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><ol><li>The
figures are rounded to the nearest 100. ‘–‘denotes figures that are zero or less than
50.</li><li>The information is provided for Work Capability Assessment decisions made
from October 2008, for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), and from March 2011,
for Incapacity Benefit reassessments (IBR), to December 2016; the latest data available
at time of request.</li><li>The outcome recorded is the final DWP Decision Maker’s
decision or the recommendation made by the Healthcare Professional where the Decision
Maker’s decision is not yet available.</li><li>An individual may have made more than
one ESA claim and had more than one assessment in the time period shown. These individuals
will only be counted once in each of the figures provided.</li><li>The Department
uses the International Classification of Diseases Disease code, 10th Revision (ICD(10))
published by the World Health Organisation, for causes of incapacity. <a href="http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2016/en"
target="_blank">http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2016/en</a> - Motor
Neurone Disease is recorded under the Spinal Muscular Atrophy and related syndromes
category.</li><li>The primary medical condition recorded on the claim form does not
itself confer entitlement to ESA. So, for example, a decision on entitlement for a
customer claiming ESA on the basis of Cystic Fibrosis would be based on their ability
to carry out the range of activities assessed by the work capability assessment.</li></ol>
