Official statistics announcement
Benefit cap: number of households capped to August 2020
Statistics on households that have had their benefits capped between 15 April 2013 and August 2020. Due to data processes becoming more coherent and providing higher quality data, we are currently unable to update cumulative outcomes for Housing Benefit (HB) data. Outcomes for HB will refer to the most recent quarter, with cumulative data being reintroduced in future releases. This affects table 4 and table 8 of the data tables accompanying the release, as well as the written commentary within the release.
