I propose to take Questions Nos. 129 and 130 together.
The table shows the number of applications received and the number of applications disallowed for carer's allowance (CA), disability allowance (DA), domiciliary care allowance (DCA), invalidity pensions (INVP) and illness benefit (IB) in 2016. The grounds for disallowing an application for one of these schemes include a failure to satisfy the statutory conditions regarding means, medical criteria, level of care provided or social insurance contributions (this latter only in the case of invalidity pension).
