To my previous query i got the following response from you: Further to Peter's response, I have discussed the issues again with DWP. They weren't going to resend us the 5% data in error because of the questions over the future of Nomis (as there is work involved on their part to get the corrections off to us). But now our future in guaranteed in the near term, we will hopefully receive it at some stage (though no definite decisions or dates as yet). However, the dataset holding the WPLS DLA data with the extended condition codes (56 of them) is close to completion and we will release it at the beginning of January (all things being well). This dataset will start with the May 2011 data with no back series (as the condition breakdown in the dates prior to May 2011 was wrong). I'll leave the old WPLS dataset in place so that people can get a time series - but with no condition breakdown. Bearing in mind that the November 2011 data has not long been released what has happened to the condition data? |
| The new 100% data set disability living allowance by disabling condition was included with the release in March - although I have not yet been given an official news item to cover this. Best I can do is add the new data set name to the standard DWP release message in the meantime. | |
