TAKE-UP: ESTIMATED UNCLAIMED AMOUNTS
1. Tables 1 and 2 below are based on our
latest estimates. The first contains a percentage distribution
by all pensioners, single males and female pensioners and pensioner
couples of unclaimed amounts of Minimum Income Guarantee, by size
of weekly entitlement.
2. Table 2 shows for Minimum Income Guarantee
eligible non-claimants, a percentage distribution of total unclaimed
amounts of income-related benefits ie Minimum Income Guarantee,
Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, by size of weekly entitlement,
according to the three groups of pensioners.
3. Tables 3 and 5 show a percentage distribution
of total unclaimed amounts of Housing Benefit and Council Tax
Benefit among entitled non-recipients of Housing Benefit and Council
Tax Benefit respectively, by size of weekly entitlement.
4. Table 4 shows for Housing Benefit pensioner
eligible non-claimants, a percentage distribution of total unclaimed
amounts of income-related benefits ie Minimum Income Guarantee,
Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, by size of weekly entitlement.
5. Table 6 shows for Council Tax Benefit
pensioner eligible non-claimants, a percentage distribution of
total unclaimed amounts of income-related benefits ie Minimum
Income Guarantee, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, by
size of weekly entitlement.

| | |
| 1. To allow a reliable breakdown by pensioner groups estimates are based on a combination of two years' worth of data. Therefore estimates may differ from published statistics.
| | | |
|
| 2. Estimates have not been corrected for the biases that may be inherent in modelling entitlement to income-related benefits and so should be treated with some caution. In particular a significant proportion of those appearing to entitled non-recipients (ENRs) of Minimum Income Guarantee will not be true ENRs, and a significant proportion of true entitled non-recipients will not be captured in our modelling.
| | | |
|
| 3. Because of these uncertainties, breakdowns are presented as percentages rather than numbers of ENRs.
