The number of Housing Benefit claimant households where the representative claming the benefit or the judged representative age of household is 65 or over. Housing benefit is a contribution towards rent for those on low income. To qualify for inclusion in the figures, the claimant must be in receipt of at least 50 pence per week. Statistical disclosure control has been applied to this data which guards against the identification of an individual claimant. 0 or 0.00 denotes a nil or negligible number of claimants or award amount, based on 4 or fewer claimants.

Figures are based on the claimant's place of residence. Claimants registered as living abroad or where the location is unknown are excluded.

Housing Benefit claimant statistics are derived from the Single Housing Benefit Extract (SHBE), as at the second Thursday of each month. SHBE is compiled from monthly returns of housing benefit and council tax benefit claimants from each individual local authority. Recording and clerical errors can occur within SHBE - for this reason, no reliance should be placed on very small numbers obtained through Stat-Xplore.
