New Deal for Disabled People: Using Administrative Data to Access the Impact on Exits from Benefit

In-House Report No. 81

By Howard Redway

This study used a statistical model, based on the Department's administrative data, to assess the evidence for an increase in exits from benefit among those claimants with access to the New Deal for Disabled People Personal Adviser Service. The findings were inconclusive, as the model was not sufficiently sensitive to detect an effect of the magnitude expected. This was due to the size and restricted scope of the sample.
