The information requested for Universal Credit and income-based Employment and Support Allowance is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

Information is available for those on income-based Employment and Support Allowance with the main medical condition of ‘Diseases of the respiratory system’ here:

Guidance for users is available at:

The information is not collected for those on Jobseeker’s Allowance or Income Support.
