Total Sickness Benefit Data – Figures 1-9 Updated from Glasgow Profile
Scottish Observatory for Work and Health University of Glasgow Health-related Worklessness in Scotland Profile June 2011 Judith Brown Joel Smith David Webster James Arnott Ivan Turok Ewan Macdonald Richard Mitchell Contact: Judith Brown Public Health & Health Policy 1 Lilybank Gardens University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8RZ [email protected] 1 Summary & Key Findings Health-related worklessness in Scotland Profile 1. This profile provides detailed information on total sickness-related benefit claimants (incapacity benefit, IB and Employment Support Allowance, ESA claimants) from 2000 to 2009, ESA claimants from 2009 and ESA claimants by medical condition for 2010 (broken down by age, duration of claim, stage of claim and ethnicity). 2. The profile contains data for Scotland, Glasgow City, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire. 3. The percent of the working age population (WAP) claiming IB in Glasgow City decreased from 18.8% in 2000 to 14.4% by 2007. Following the introduction of ESA in October 2008, the WAP in receipt of total sickness-related benefit has continued to follow the general linear decline observed for IB but the rate is not falling as steeply. By 2009, 13.5% of the WAP in Glasgow were claiming sickness benefit compared to 9.1% in Scotland. Similar trends are observed in the other geographies. 4. The rate of on flow decreased in Scotland and Glasgow City prior to the introduction of ESA. From 2008 there have been small increases in IB/ESA on flow rates. By 2009, total sickness benefit was in excess of the level observed for 2005 with the rate of on flow currently at 3.9% in Glasgow. -

LGC-S5-19-EHS-21: South Lanarkshire Council
LGC/S5/19/EHS/21 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE CALL FOR VIEWS ON EMPTY HOMES IN SCOTLAND SUBMISSION FROM SOUTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL 1. What in your view are the main causes of empty homes? As part of an Empty Homes Shared Service Pilot project with North Lanarkshire Council in 2014/15, the Council carried out a survey of long term properties using Council Tax data as a baseline. The purpose of the pilot was to examine the extent and nature of long term empty properties within South Lanarkshire. A questionnaire was sent out to a representative sample of 200 owners of long term empty properties (properties empty for longer than 6 months) to establish information on why properties were empty, request details of the property condition, and the type of advice & assistance which would help bring the property back in to use. Responses were received from 58 owners (29%). Of these responses, 49% reported that the property was ready for occupation or being actively marketed, and 28% had been occupied within the period of the survey. A further 10% were being renovated with 8% in need of renovation. A very small number reported the property was subject to legal dispute. In relation to advice and assistance, 39% of responses noted that advice on the availability of loans or grants to assist with the cost of renovation would be helpful, with 42% noting that advice and assistance of selling, or finding a tenant would be useful. Currently, less than 0.5% of homes in South Lanarkshire are estimate to be long- term empty properties. -
