Discontinued datasets
Working age client group datasets discontinued
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) are changing the way that they publish benefit statistics from August 2017. The quarterly working age client group datasets will no longer be produced by DWP and will therefore no longer be updated within Community Insight. For more information see here. When the DWP replace these datasets with new indicators we will load them into Community Insight.
For now, the working age client group datasets will remain in Community Insight showing the data for the most recent time-point available. A list of the discontinued datasets in Community Insight is below:
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants aged 16-24
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants aged 25-49
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants aged 50 and over
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants, Bereaved
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants, Carer
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants, Disabled
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants, female
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants, Incapacity Benefits
- Working-age DWP benefit claimants, Income Related Benefit
