The Department publishes data annually on the number of disabled people who are in work and of those the number who have remained in work compared to the previous year from the Labour Force Survey (LFS).

Official statistics show that of all disabled people in work one year, 91.1% are still in work the following year. The data used in the report is an average from 2014 to 2022 to increase precision due to small sample sizes.
