Ms Joan Gordon:
I thank the Deputy. Some 55% of all appeals received relate to illness, caring and the disability schemes. In terms of receipts, I think the Deputy is interested in disability allowance and domiciliary care allowance. To date in 2021, we have received 4,597 disability allowance appeals. The equivalent for 2020 was 6,661.
