and denotes the customers where that variable is missing. In this case, it is where
information relating to a person’s residence is missing, most commonly their postcode.</p><ol><li>The
expenditure data in these statistics covers payments directly to individuals and employers,
as well as to assessment providers and the Mental Health Support Service.</li><li>The
expenditure data in these statistics does not include DWP’s staffing and operational
costs relating to Access to Work.</li><li>Real terms expenditure (where actual spending
has been adjusted to remove the effects of general price level changes (inflation)
over time using price levels from a base year) has been calculated using the Consumer
Prices Index published by the Office for National Statistics. Real terms figures provide
a more meaningful measurement of change over time.</li><li>Expenditure figures have
been calculated using a methodology consistent with that used in the published Access
to Work statistics. Please see the background information and methodology note for

to Work expenditure for each country is based on residency of the beneficiary as opposed
to place of work.</li><li>Figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 due to the weighting
methodology used (see Note 4).</li></ol><p> </p>
