This top-level indicator is not a combination of its constituent
components but rather a ‘standalone’figure. A
break down of Incapacity Benefit and Severe Disablement Allowance
by main diagnostic group is however provided for information. |

Authority ethnic population |
Additional details
It is not possible to differentiate these benefits by ethnic
group. Thus a process of ecological modelling was used, where the
local authority ethnic estimate is a weighted average of SOA estimates
based on the spatial distribution of the ethnic group across the
SOAs of a Local Authority District. This method was applied to
all the subcomponents of this indicator.

Additional details
The proportion of people of working age who are receiving Incapacity
Benefit (IB) or Severe Disablement Allowance (SDA) for diseases
of the circulatory and Respiratory system is an indicator of the
incidence of the diseases and thus the overall physical morbidity
of an area.
The benefit dataset is coded for medical conditions, to which
the Department for Work and Pensions matched International Classification
of Diseases Version 10 (ICD-10) codes. The ICD-10 codes used to
classify individuals claiming IB and SDA for diseases of the circulatory
system were I00 –I99 and diseases of the respiratory system
J00 –J99.
