Notes:- Data prior to 2002-03 are estimated (see notes and definitions). 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 have not yet been assessed.
1. For applications made in 2007-08, there were 1,677 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 2007-08 are therefore provisional.
