DWP research report 648
7 July 2010
This report presents the findings from a review of evidence about recipients of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and a qualitative study of recent applicants for the benefit. The report explores a number of hypotheses as to why DLA recipients have particularly low rates of employment, even compared to other, similarly disadvantaged disabled people, and seeks to throw light on what effects DLA receipt may have on people's decision making about work.
