Information on the number of Attendance Allowance claimants receiving the lower and higher rate in York Central and York Outer Constituency in each year since 2010 is shown below. As of 2010 the constituency City of York was abolished, alongside the Vale of York Constituency. In their place the York Central and York Outer Constituencies were created on the Boundary Commission for England’s recommendation. Therefore, figures for the City of York were unavailable to answer this question.
