Examines the spread of Disability Living Allowance across a group of low income households in an industrial town in North West England from the introduction of the new benefits in 1992 until the spring of 1996. Focuses on the changes over time of the incidence of Disability Living Allowance in the low income population and look at the relative spread of different elements of the benefit. Speculates on whether the new benefits have provided the most effective way of fulfilling the aims of the White Paper, The Way Ahead, and discuss the implications for social and medical models of disability.
