The report inlcudes statistics on the point-in-time and the cumulative capped households for November to January. This is then broken down to LGD and AA. The family make-up of capped households is analysed by number of children per capped household, as well as the age of youngest children. The financial impact of being capped is broken down to £10 bandings, and illustrates the number of households at each band. This is the weekly loss to a household. The number of households moving off the cap is also stated in the report, which includes reasons for the off-flows.
