Details

During financial year ending (FYE) 2023, the UK Government announced and implemented additional support to families with several cost of living support schemes.

This support is included in the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) estimates of household income for FYE 2023, with receipt of payments imputed based on respondent characteristics. This publication explores the impact of removing the imputation of these payments on the estimates of individuals in low income households published in the HBAI FYE 2023 Accredited Official Statistics.
