Notes:
1. Figures are consistent with the pre-Budget report 2006.
2. The amount claimed figures have been calculated using the average weekly amounts and case loads for November 2003, May 2004, May 2005 and May 2006.
3. Pension credit was introduced on 6 October 2003 and replaced minimum income guarantee (income support for people aged 60 or over). The vast majority of people who were previously in receipt of the minimum income guarantee transferred to pension credit in October 2003.
4. Household recipients are those people who claim pension credit either for themselves only or on behalf of a household.
5. Constituencies are those used for the Westminster Parliament. For the May 2005 general election, the constituencies in Scotland changed.
