There are two main benefits associated with health that are paid to people needing help with personal care. They are the 'Disability Living Allowance' and the 'Attendance Allowance'. The Disability Living Allowance is a benefit paid to people under 65, who are disabled, and need help with personal care, and/or getting around. In August 2000, 2,660 people in South Cambridgeshire received this benefit. (Source: Department for Work and Pensions, 2000) The Attendance Allowance is paid to people over the age of 65, who are so severely disabled, physically or mentally, that they need supervision or a great deal of help with personal care. In May 2000, 2,115 people in South Cambridgeshire received this benefit. (Source: Department for Work and Pensions, 2000)

About this summary
- This summary brings together data from a number of sources, all of which are available on the Neighbourhood Statistics website. More detailed information on these topics and others, is available on the site.
- In some cases the data shown in this summary may have been rounded and figures shown may differ slightly from those published elsewhere. Due to rounding of percentages, the addition of categories may not sum to exactly 100 per cent in all cases. It should also be noted that in some cases, different tables may show different counts for the same population, due to disclosure protection measures used to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of information about identifiable individuals. Figures quoted should therefore be used for guidance only.
- These summary statistics are based on administrative ward boundaries legally in force at the end of 2002, which includes ward boundaries that became operative in a number of Local Authorities in May 2003, and some others that will become operative in May 2004.
- The symbol ".." is used to indicate that the value is not available.
