The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) statistics team are reviewing the frequency of their publications with a view to reduce the number of releases each year.

DWP are reviewing the following statistics:
- Benefit Cap Official Statistics – proposal is to move from quarterly to 6-monthly publication
- Benefit Combinations Experimental Statistics – proposal is to move from quarterly to 6-monthly or annual publication
- Housing Benefit Debt Recovery National Statistics – proposal is to move from 6-monthly to annual publication
- Housing Benefit Speed of Processing Official Statistics – proposal is to move from quarterly to 6-monthly or annual publication
Let us know:

Do you support the reduced frequency of release? If not, please tell us why this would affect you as a user of the statistics. Please be specific in providing your reasons.

What are the best months to publish? Please let us know if you use the published data for any other publication or to make a decision that happens at a particular time in the year.
