I am happy to disclosed, information that was provided from the DWP website today, which confirms in Feb 2008 the total number of people affected with HIV/AIDS who claimed and Entiitled to was:
| Total | Entitled/Receiving payment | |
|---|---|---|
| Entitlement only | Claimant receiving benefit |
|
| Caseload (Thousands) | Caseload (Thousands) | Caseload (Thousands) |
| Total | 2,969.34 | 23.77 | 2,945.57 |
|---|
| AIDS | 7.05 | 0.09 | 6.96 |
|---|
According to data provided in 2005, this is about a 3.5% drop in the total caseload number. However THT advised that around 78,000 people are known to be affected with in the UK and still this about 0.09% of the affect community claiming DLA.
Thanks Kevin, I moved this so it wouldn't be hidden in a comment trail.

Looking at comments noted recently, I have again gone back to the DWP website to analysis the data breaking down the number of claimants in receipt and disallowed as at Feb 2008. My comment is that from my experince and seeking clarification from the Tribunal Service, this does differ from the DWP understanding shown http://www.dwp.gov.uk/medical/med_conditions/hiv-aids/care_mob_hiv_aids.asp.
