8.7% to 7.8% of Hull‟s working-age population. This is likely due to the new medical
review for new claimants and reviews for long-term claimants.
Further analysis of benefit claimants for the mental health reasons is given in the Mental
Health Equity Audit in relation to age and gender of the claimant. Whilst the data in the
equity audit refers to August 2006, the pattern of the claims in relation to wards and the
Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 is similar to that in Table 42. Further discussion
about the claimants in relation to mental health in relation to cause or consequence and
the sustaining cycle is also provided within the equity audit. The discussion revolves
around the complex relationship between mental health and deprivation, in that people
living in more deprived areas are more likely to suffer from poor mental health and
mental illness, but people suffering from poor mental health and mental illness are more
likely to live in cheaper or supported accommodation in more deprived areas.
