Hundreds of people in the Lancaster district are receiving benefits due to mental and behavioural disorders according to new data.
The Employment and Support Allowance is provided to people who are struggling to work due to long term health conditions. It is available to those unable to work completely and for people whose hours are limited by their condition. Figures from the Department of Work and Pensions show 1,542 people in Lancaster were claiming ESA due to mental or behavioural conditions as of last summer – 49% of the 3,123 claimants in the area. These conditions accounted for almost half of the 1.
' Fewer people are claiming the ESA as the Government moves towards using Universal Credit for those with health conditions. As of December 2023, two million people were on Universal Credit health benefits including 5,167 in Lancaster. This was a rise from 1.6 million a year earlier. Data on medical conditions for those receiving the benefit is less complete than for the ESA, making it difficult to know the true number of people missing work due to issues with their mental health.
