Figures are cumulative and are rounded to the nearest ten. Totals may not sum due to rounding.</p><p>2. Job Outcomes: The Work Programme IT payment system was updated on the 26th March 2012 and validation processes introduced in April 2012. The early data series following this was subject to fluctuations as the new system and processes bedded in. For further details please see section 4.1 of the information note available on the Work Programme Official Statistics homepage at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/work-programme-official-statistics-background-information-note" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/work-programme-official-statistics-background-information-note</a></p><p>3. Payment Group: Payment Groups are assigned by Jobcentre Plus, on the basis of a claimant’s circumstances, and benefit they receive. For more information on the payment groups, when they commenced and inconsistencies please see the information note available on the Work Programme Official Statistics homepage at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/work-programme-official-statistics-background-information-note" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/work-programme-official-statistics-background-information-note</a></p><p>4. <strong>Age:</strong> Age is fixed at the time of referral. We have provided data for the standard age group of 18 – 24.</p><p>5. Employment Duration: Employment Duration is defined as the number of weeks required to claim a Job Outcome plus the number of weeks for which sustainment payments have been made. For example a job outcome paid for a customer in Payment Group 1 with one additional sustainment payment will have been in employment for 30 weeks up to 34 weeks.</p><p>6. Disability Indicator: Disability is self-assessed as having a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term effect on their ability to carry out normal day to day activities.</p><p>7. Job Outcome payments: A Job Outcome payment can be claimed when:</p><p>· There has been a either continuous or cumulative period of employment (Job Outcome payment trigger point) of 13 weeks for Payment Groups 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and 26 weeks for Payment Groups 1, 2 and 9.;</p><p>· A participant has been in employment and off benefit in each week of the period (a week is defined as a 7 day period); and</p><p>· The Job Outcome is after the Job Start date, i.e. a Job Outcome payment can only be claimed when a participant starts a Job after Attachment Activity has been recorded on DWP prescribed IT or clerical system.</p><p>8. Sustainment payments: Providers can only claim a Sustainment payment where:</p><p>· A Job Outcome has been reported;</p><p>· Four continuous weeks in employment have elapsed between the Job Outcome payment date and the Sustainment payment date, or between the previous Sustainment payment date and the current Sustainment payment date.</p><p>· A participant has been in employment and off benefit each week (a week is defined as a 7 day period) in the four week period; and</p><p>· 15 working days have passed since the last date of the period being claimed.</p><p>· Following a break in employment after the 104 weeks Allotted Time providers will no longer be eligible to receive a Sustainment payment (a break is defined as when a participant leaves employment for 2 days or more, even if they remain off benefit).</p>

answer text <p /> <p>Table 1 shows the estimated number of individuals who were resident in Havering and were on benefits at some point in the four weeks before a court conviction which resulted in a custodial sentence. The estimated numbers are shown by calendar year for 2011 and 2012, based on the year of the conviction. Figures for later years are not available.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1: Estimated number of individuals sentenced to custodial sentences in Havering, in 2011 and 2012, who were on benefits at some point in the four weeks before conviction.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td colspan="2"><p><strong>Year of conviction</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Individuals claiming the following benefits</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Disability Living Allowance (DLA)</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>30</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Incapacity Benefit (IB)</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Income Support (IS)</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)</p></td><td><p>40</p></td><td><p>50</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Other DWP benefits <sup>1</sup></p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total individuals</p></td><td><p>100</p></td><td><p>100</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><sup>1</sup> Other DWP benefits – Carer’s Allowance, Pension Credit, Severe Disablement Allowance, Attendance Allowance, Passported Incapacity Benefit, Bereavement Benefit, Widows Benefit and Retirement Pension – have been grouped due to low volumes.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Background</strong></p><p>The total population of Havering was 240,000 in 2011 and 2012, with a corresponding working age population (aged 16-64) of 151,000. Claimants of ESA, IB, IS and JSA will be of working age whilst DLA claimants may be under 16. During 2011 and 2012, around 19,000 residents of Havering were claiming one of the above benefits at any given point in time, with over 5,000 of these claiming JSA.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes</strong></p><p>· Figures are rounded to the nearest 10.</p><p> </p><p>· These figures have been derived from the National Benefits Database linked to Police National Computer data taken from the 2013 MoJ-DWP-HMRC data share. This data only includes offenders for whom a link to DWP or HMRC data could be found – 19% of total offenders in England and Wales are not included, either because they have never had a DWP or HMRC record or, due to issues with data quality or consistency, it was not possible to find a match between the offender data and the DWP/HMRC data. As a result, these are likely to be underestimates.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>· The figures are based on individuals who are recorded as being resident in Havering according to their relevant record in the National Benefits Database. They may not have been resident in Havering at the time of conviction.</p><p> </p><p>· Individuals may be claiming multiple benefits at once; consequently, an individual may appear in more than one benefit category, but will only appear once in the total. Hence, the totals for each calendar year are less than the sum of the number of claimants for each benefit type. Where an individual incurred more than one prison sentence in the year, they are only included once for each benefit per year.</p><p> </p><p>· Overall population and benefit claimant statistics have been taken from Local Authority Labour Market data as recorded on NOMIS (<a href="http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.nomisweb.co.uk</a>).</p>
