The findings are considered to be experimental statistics, published at an early stage while they undergo further investigation and analysis. As a result, the findings in this report have been purposely limited to provide a very brief overview of the data at wave two. A full report of the analyses, of the whole wave two dataset, will be available in 2013.

The fieldwork for the first year of wave one was conducted between June 2009 and March 2010, and respondents were then interviewed for wave two a year after their wave one interview, between June 2010 and March 2011. Initial findings based on the wave two interim longitudinal data are provided in the LOS Wave Two Interim Report.

The report focuses only on respondents who reported an impairment at one or both waves of the survey. The findings are considered experimental statistics, published at an early stage while they undergo further investigation and analysis. As a result the findings in this report have been purposely limited to provide a very brief overview of the data mid-way through the second wave. The full findings will be available in 2013.
