Mean weekly housing benefit award (22522) Metric type

Help text
This is the average award amount (in pounds) that is paid to all housing benefit recipients, at a given point in time. This includes Social Rented Sector (SRS), Private Rented Sector (PRS), and where the housing sector is unknown or missing. 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.
