benefit claimants - working age client group
This dataset provides statistics on benefit claimants within the working-age client group across the United Kingdom, accessed via the Nomis web API (dataset NM_105_1). It is available in CSV format and can be filtered by geography, sex, age band, claim duration, number of children, statistical group, and benefit type, with measures covering claimant counts and proportions. The data supports analysis of welfare claimant patterns at various geographic levels, from national down to smaller administrative areas, using official labour market statistics published by Nomis on behalf of the Office for National Statistics.Benefit Claimants data for different types of Geographies
