Source for all tables: Application data is derived from administrative data held by the DWP and assessment data provided by the Healthcare Provider.
Notes:
- The figures are rounded to the nearest 100. “–” denotes zero or fewer than 50. ‘.’ denotes not applicable.
- The information for 2008 cover the period from October 2008 only; this is the first month for which is information is recorded.
- National roll-out of IB reassessments began in March 2011. As a result, the 2011 figures for IB reassessment cover the period from March to December only.
- The information for 2017 is provided up to June 2017 only; this is the latest data available at time of request.
- An individual may have made more than one ESA claim or had more than one assessment in any given year. These individuals will only be counted once in each of the figures provided.
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 Parkinson’s Disease would be based on their ability to carry out the range of activities assessed by the work capability assessment.
