Benefit to disability car 2025

The purpose of these statistics is to provide information on cases on subsidies for disability cars as prescribed by section 114 of the Danish Social Services Act. These statistics were initiated in the Danish Social Appeals Board back in 1998. Until 1 July 2016, these statistics were managed by the Appeals Board, after which they were transferred to Statistics Denmark.

Statistical presentation

The statistics provide an annual account of municipalities’ cases concerning support for cars for persons with disabilities under section 114 of the Danish Social Services Act. At case level, the data contain information on the start and end dates of the case process, the legal basis for the application and decision, any amount granted, and whether the outcome of the case has changed following reconsideration

Statistical processing

Consistent data is received from the municipalities. Data is checked for logical errors, then compiled into one data set.

Relevance

The statistics are used by, among others, ministries, municipalities and research scientists for analyses of support for cars for persons with disabilities and monitoring the municipal decisions, including grants, refusals and average case processing time. The published figures are available to everyone seeking information on support for cars for persons with disabilities.

Accuracy and reliability

Submitting data is required by law. Only logical validation is carried out, as described under Data validation. Corrections to earlier statistical years may be made subsequently.

Timeliness and punctuality

The statistics will be published approximately nine months after the expiry of the reference period. These statistics are published without delay, with reference to the announced time of publication in the release calendar.

Comparability

Data has been collected from the entire country since 2011.

Accessibility and clarity

These statistics are published yearly in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank. In the StatBank, these statistics can be found under the subject Disability care. For further information, go to the subject page.
