<p>This data is not held by the Department. However, estimates for number of people
who are disabled are available from the Annual Population Survey (APS) from the Office
for National Statistics.</p><p>The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) has now
been repealed and replaced by the Equality Act 2010 (EA). Therefore, the APS no longer
uses the DDA as its basis for interviewing people regarding their disability, instead
using the definition under the EA.</p><p>For the 12 month period ending in March 2019,
the estimated proportion of people aged between 16 and 64 years who were disabled
under the EA definition in London and Hounslow Borough were 15.0% and 17.7% respectively.</p>
