Details of the datasets updated in this release are given at the bottom of this article.

Working age client group datasets discontinued

Working age client group datasets are no longer being produced by DWP and will therefore no longer be updated. The last period for which these datasets are available is November 2016. As a consequence, the following two DWP benefit datasets on Nomis are not updated in this release:

  • benefit claimants - working age client group
  • benefit claimants - working age clients for small areas

For further information see the separate news article.
