DWP re-releases old incapacity benefit numbers

The numbers in the new news release are strikingly similar to these discussed here last year - unsurprising when you see that the "new" numbers are for the period "between October 2008 and last May".

Yet the media have written this up as new news - for instance here and here.

It isn't.

Do the media really think the DWP has no figures later than May 2010?
