The benefits statistical summary is a high level summary of the latest National Statistics on Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefits.
From February 2018, the main statistical release document is published on a 6 monthly basis, in February and August each year. Data is also released quarterly via Stat-Xplore, Nomis and data tables where appropriate.
More detailed information about the statistics included in the summaries can be found using Stat-Xplore and Nomis.
We made improvements to the geography information in our statistics during 2018. The changes reflect 2011 Census Output Areas and allow us to adhere to the latest geographical boundaries as defined by Office for National Statistics’ guidance.
The improvements are:
- residency based geographical breakdowns for Housing Benefits were refreshed in August and published on Stat-Xplore with data from April 2018
- new geographies for most of our Legacy Benefits were refreshed in November and published on both Stat-Xplore and Nomis with data from May 2018
We have no plans to update historic series. Read the DWP statistical geographies note for more information.
