- Figures are numbers of households receiving Housing Benefit with a spare room subsidy deduction. This policy only affects working age households in the social rented sector.
- Figures have not been provided for August 2012 as the social rented sector spare room subsidy policy did not exist until April 2013.
- A small number of households now receive their housing support through Universal Credit. The table covers Housing Benefit only as equivalent Universal Credit data are not yet available.
