Ms Buck: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many children were estimated to be living in households on (a) any benefits, (b) income support only, (c) jobseekers allowance, (d) incapacity benefit, (e) disability living allowance and (f) income support and incapacity benefit in 2008. [210108]
Mr. Timms: The information is not available for households in the format requested. The available information, which is for the numbers of children who have a parent or guardian in receipt of a relevant benefit, is shown in the following table:
Children aged under 16 dependent on a parent or guardian claiming one or more of income support (IS), jobseekers allowance (JSA), incapacity benefit (IB) or severe disablement allowance (SDA), and disability living allowance (DLA), Great Britain, as at April 2007 | |
Number | |
Notes: 1. All data represent a snapshot in time of claimants on the computer system and will therefore exclude a very small number of cases that are held clerically. 2. Information on child dependents is not reliably completed on the benefit computer system; therefore children have been merged onto IS/JSA/IB/SDA and pension credit (PC) claims from child benefit records with permission from HMRC. 3. IB/SDA claimants may also be in receipt of IS/PC and/or DLA. Disability living allowance claimants may also be in receipt of IS/PC and/or IB/SDA. 4. Any benefits means one or more of IS/JSA/IB/SDA/PC/DLA. 5. Figures for individual benefits do not sum to the total for any benefits due to overlaps in benefits. Source: DWP Information Directorate. |
