Statistical processing

Source data

The municipalities must report all their decisions about subsidies for disability cars. This only applies for grant/rejection of subsidies for cars. Special fitting must not be reported.

Frequency of data collection

The statistics are compiled once a year.

Data collection

In 2016, data was collected by the Appeals Board via an electronic reporting system. From 1 July 2016 and upwards, data must be submitted via spreadsheet as defined by Statistics Denmark.

Data validation

The data are checked for logical errors according to the following rules:

• The personal identification number (CPR number) must contain 10 digits and correspond to a valid date.
• The stated dates must be valid and occur in a logical sequence.
• All relevant fields must be completed.

If errors or missing information are identified, the data provider is contacted until all errors have been corrected. No further validation of the data content is performed.

Data compilation

When data has been received it is compiled into one data set, which creates the basis for the statistics.

Adjustment

No corrections of data are made in addition to those already described under Data validation and Data processing.
