1 Jobseeker’s Allowance figures have been derived by applying 100% WPLS propor tions to 5% data. This figure is based on Contribution Based only Jobseekers Allowance. All jobseeker’s Allowance statistics were revised in May 2008 following improvements to methodology. 2 November 2007 Jobseekers Allowance figures are unavailable due to an embargo on the transfer of data to the department. 3 The figures relating to Employment Support Allowance have been thoroughly quality assured to National Statistics standard. However, it should be noted that this is a new benefit using a new data source which may not have reached steady state in terms of operational processing and retrospection. Hence, for October 2008 onwards, ESA figures are provisional and subject to change.

4 The figures for Incapacity Benefit are calculated from 100% counts but are provisional and therefore subject to amendment. 5 From 27th October 2008, new claims to Incapacity Benefit can also be allocated on incapacity grounds, to the newly introduced Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). Decreasing numbers of new claimants to Incapacity Benefit will be seen from herein. 6 Includes all Widow’s Benefit and Bereavement Benefit except Widow’s Payment and Bereavement Payment. Excludes overseas and Channel Island cases. 7 WB and BB figures are obtained from 100% Work and Pensions Longitudinal Data. Sources: Department for Work and Pensions; HM Revenue and Customs
