Housing Benefit
(asked on 3rd March 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what his most recent estimate is of the number of working households claiming housing benefit.
This question was answered on 9th March 2015
Latest figures show that there are just over 1 million in-work housing benefit claims. This reflects the fact that under this Government the number of out-of-work Housing Benefit claimants has fallen. This is to be expected, as more people are getting back into work than ever before.
