Notes:

1. Benefit expenditure is available for financial years only.

2. The last period for which a full year of expenditure by parliamentary constituency is available is 2012/13. Figures for 2013/14 will be published later in the year.

3. For 2011/12 and 2012/13, figures include expenditure for the following benefits: Attendance Allowance, Bereavement benefits, Carer's Allowance, Disability Living Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Housing Benefit, Incapacity benefit, Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance, Pension Credit, Severe Disablement Allowance, State Pension, Winter Fuel Payments. This covers approximately 94% of all DWP benefit expenditure; information on the remaining benefits is not available at constituency level.

4. For 2010/11, Housing Benefit is only available by local authority so it is excluded; these figures therefore cover around 80% of all DWP benefit expenditure.

5. Figures at 2014/15 prices are deflated using GDP deflators published following the 2014 Budget, and published at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/299805/GDP_Deflators_Qtrly_National_Accounts_March_2014_update.xls

6. Information on the cost of administering the benefits by parliamentary constituency is not collated centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
