Notes: 1. Volumes are at a case level. Parents with care involved in more than one case will be included multiple times. 2. Includes all cases with a positive maintenance liability. 3. On benefit defined as cases where parent with care is in receipt of income support or income based jobseeker’s allowance or if the partner of the parent with care is in receipt of either of these benefits. 4. Unknown, Northern Ireland and Abroad category includes cases where the postcode of the parent with care is not recorded on management information. A large increase in ‘unknown’ region cases occurred from March 2003 onwards with the introduction of the new CS2 computer system. A data cleanse operation took place towards the end of 2004 to solve this problem. 5. Figures rounded to nearest 100.
