Details

The Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study data are based on 100% of claimants and cover information such as:

  • age and gender of claimant
  • duration of their spell on benefit
  • geographical locations of claimants

Breakdowns for individual benefits (for example the type of Jobseekers Allowance in payment) are also available in 5% sample data which has more detail but less comprehensive coverage.

These documents contain information regarding the main disabling condition for Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance and how it is presented on the Work and Pensions Longitudinal study.
