Estimates for 2009/10 and 2012/13 are also presented.

Main data sources used

The main data sources used to produce estimates of take-up are:

• the Family Resources Survey, used to model the population in private households entitled to income-related benefits
• the DWP and local authority benefit records data 바카라 사이트“ the basis of the Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study
• the DWP Statistical Summaries 바카라 사이트“ providing the counts of benefit recipients and typical amounts received

Changes to the modelling that underpins the estimates of take-up of income-related benefits

The approach to modelling income-related benefit entitlement for Family Resources Survey (FRS) respondents has been improved for this publication.

Full details of the methods, data sources, modelling improvement and impact of the change can be found in the attached technical report.

바카라 사이트 consultation response 바카라 사이트“ proposals to end 바카라 사이트˜Income-related benefits: estimates of take-up바카라 사이트™

On 12 July 2012, the government published a consultation on the future of the National Statistics publication 바카라 사이트˜Income related benefits: estimates of take-up바카라 사이트™. The consultation set out the proposal to end publication of the National Statistics series. The consultation closed on 4 October 2012.

Due to increased demand on the limited statistics-producing resource because of welfare reform changes, we needed to identify resource savings to deliver the new requirements. 바카라 사이트˜Income-related benefits: estimates of take-up바카라 사이트™ was put forward as a potential candidate for ending.

The responses received persuaded DWP to continue to publish the publication. We will take account of comments raised in planning take-up reports once welfare reforms are implemented.
