the number of people in receipt of an allowance, and excludes cases where the payment

entitled to DLA. Entitlement is dependent on an assessment of how much help someone
needs with personal care and/or mobility because of their disability. These statistics

DLA care and mobility components can be paid together or on their own. The nil payment
row is where the claimant is in receipt of the care component and not the mobility
component 5. This information does not include PIP which replaced DLA for new claimants
aged 16 to 64 from 8 April 2013.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p>
