Data is based on primary disabling condition as recorded on the PIP computer system. Claimants may often have multiple disabling conditions upon which the assessment is based but only the primary condition is shown in these statistics.
All health conditions are coded on DWP systems using the high level “block” codes, consisting of a letter and two numbers in the range A00 to Z99, of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, published by the World Health Organisation.
