Help text: Proportion of people aged 85 and over entitled to Disability Living Allowance (DLA) as a percentage of the total population aged 85 and over in the area. This figure is calculated using the mid-year ONS local population figures as an approximation for the population over 85. While DLA is typically given to people aged under 65, people can continue to receive the allowance after reaching age 65 if they continue to satisfy the entitlement conditions. Totals for DLA all entitled cases show both the number of people in receipt of an allowance and those with entitlement where the payment has been suspended, for example if they are in hospital.

DLA has two components which can be paid together or on their own; a care component and a mobility component. DLA can be awarded for a fixed or an indefinite period.

Data post Q1 2018/19 are based on 2011 Geographies. Data previous to this are based on 2001 Geographies.
