Details
Data on Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefits is released quarterly through:
- Stat-Xplore
- NOMIS
- data tables
A statistical summary document is published on a 6 monthly basis in February and August each year. It contains a high level summary of the latest National Statistics on Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefits.
Data on Stat-Xplore
The data on Stat-Xplore has been extended to include Jobseeker’s Allowance, Incapacity Benefit and Severe Disablement Allowance, and a timeseries for Income Support from August 1999.
Due to the improvements made to Stat-Xplore, May 2019 will be the last time NOMIS is updated for the datasets listed under “Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study” and August 2019 will be the last update of the “5% Sample Data”. We will remove both products from NOMIS from November 2019. Please contact alan.gibson@dwp.gov.uk if you have any comments about this.
Find further information about the statistics, including details on changes and revisions, in the background and methodology documents.
