The latest experimental official statistics on early estimates for the working age income support lone parent client group (ISLP) and employment and support allowance and incapacity benefit client group (ESA/IB) were released on 20th January 2010.
Housing Benefit / Council Tax Benefit National Statistics were also released on the 20th January 2010 and so the numbers are being presented as a joint release.
The early estimates are released monthly and are designed to give indicative, timely information; they are not a substitute for the National Statistics. They will be replaced by the quarterly National Statistics covering the same period when they are published. The National Statistics are the finalised figures.
We have introduced some small changes to the methodology for deriving our early estimates. These changes have improved accuracy, meaning that we can present numbers rounded to 5 thousand (compared to 10 thousand previously) and with a narrower 'error bound'. For further information see the technical note and questions and answer documents via the links below.
