Data is only available since the introduction of New Deal for Disabled People (NDDP) nationally in July 2001. 3. Figures relate to the number of individuals registering with a NDDP job broker, not all registrations with job brokers. For example, an individual registering two times or more with a job broker will only be included once in the figures. Source: DWP Information and Analysis Directorate
