<p>DWP’s social security benefit system does not contain information on the nationality
of the claimant.</p><p> </p><p>However, we have published an ad-hoc report on DWP
benefit expenditure on EEA national-led claims in 2013/14, by benefit type. This information
was published in February 2016 and is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/502129/benefit-expenditure-eea-nationals-ad-hoc-stats.pdf"

Child Benefit expenditure for EEA nationals in 2013/14. This information is available
