Changes to Housing Benefit flows data

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has stopped publishing Housing Benefit flows data in spreadsheet format. The data is now only released on Stat-Xplore, an online tool which allows you to create your own customised tables and charts. Use Stat-Xplore tool to find the latest data.

New methodology guidance has been published to support the move of data to Stat-Xplore.

We would like your feedback on this change. Please email stats-consultation@dwp.gov.uk if you have any comments or questions.

The final release of data in spreadsheet format on this page is to May 2020.

Council Tax Benefit (CTB) was abolished in April 2013 and replaced by a system of localised support. In England, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is now responsible for these statistics. The Scottish and Welsh Governments have similar responsibility. The statistics shown here provide the final numbers relating to CTB.
