The Abstract of Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefit rate statistics contains:

  • DWP benefit uprating history
  • the rates of benefit time series
  • links or pointers to all previously published elements
  • supporting tables showing historical figures back to 1948

This is the second time we have published the summary in HTML rather than PDF format. We have also modified the spreadsheet tables to make them more accessible.

We are seeking user feedback. Please send comments by email to stats-consultation@dwp.gov.uk.

Benefit uprating information contained in previous abstract publications will also continue to be available on this website. Data relating to inflation, prices and earnings is also available on the Office for National Statistics website.
