All benefit counts have been rounded to a multiple of five to protect the confidentiality of individual claimants, consequently breakdowns will not always sum to the totals given. 4. Figures are for claimants in receipt of incapacity benefit, severe disablement allowance or national insurance credits only. Source: IAD Information Centre, Department for Work and Pensions.
