Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people have put in claims for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit in (a) England, (b) Yorkshire, (c) the borough of Rotherham and (d) Rother Valley constituency in the last calendar year.
The Department publishes quarterly statistics on claims and assessments under the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) scheme here:
The claims information, published by Region, is available in table 1.6.
The other geographical breakdowns are not readily available and to provide them would incur disproportionate cost.
