Statistics for the number of unsuccessful disability allowance applications since January 2013 who were previously in receipt of domiciliary care allowance are not maintained.

It is estimated from data available that the number of persons who were in receipt of domiciliary care allowance and found to be ineligible for disability allowance to date in 2013 is approximately 370.
