Disability overwhelmingly affects older people, with over 5 million people above state pension age having a disability. In 2012, two-thirds of people aged 75 and over had a long-standing illness or disability. Furthermore, it is estimated that the number of older disabled people is likely to increase by around 40% between 2002 and 2022.
