Notes: Data prior to 2002-03 are estimated (see notes and definitions).
1. Percentages for 2002-03 onwards are based on applications made during the period, including lost contact/withdrawal/resolved prior to assessment, as well as cases which may not yet have been assessed. For applications made in 2005-06, there were some 4,300 cases which had not been assessed by the end of the period (this may include some cases where contact has been lost). Assessment figures for 2005-06 are therefore provisional.
2. Assessment data include estimates for Angus and Falkirk based on previous data due to technical difficulties in submitting HL1 data for 2005-06.
