Finding out stats on numbers in receipt of benefits in different areas
Hello
I am sure there was a post a long time ago with a link to somewhere which gave you numbers of people in receipt of different benefits per area. I am looking for numbers in receipt of ESA in Wythenshawe.
I have tried the LA census info by ward but am struggling to find what I need.
Any suggestions?
DWP Tab tool has ESA caseload by LA or parliamentary constituency but not ward level.
http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/100pc/tabtool.html
For example, selecting..
Benefit/Scheme : Employment and Support Allowance
... and then…
Analysis:Caseload
Row:Parliamentary Constituency of Claimant
Column:Region
Subset:None
Date: May 2015
... suggests 6,430 ESA claimants in Wythenshawe and Sale East
which might allow you make a reasonable estimate for Wythenshawe.
Was it this thread JoW? http://www.rightsnet.org.uk/forums/viewthread/8938/
You may be able to get the info from the ONS site but I don’t know how up to date it will be
Brilliant! Thanks both. Very helpful
