<p>Tables 1 and 2 show the number of Funeral Payment awards and expenditure amount
in England, London and North and North East London Budget Area between 2004/05 and
2013/14.</p><p> </p><p>DWP does not hold information about the number of people receiving
Funeral Payment awards in a given time period. The number of awards made in each year
is not equal to the number of people who received awards as an individual may have
made multiple applications in that period.</p><p> </p><p>The lowest geographical level
at which we hold Funeral Payment data is by Social Fund Budget Area; the geographical
areas used to administer the Social Fund in Great Britain. Since 2008/09, the Budget
Area covering Enfield is North and North East London, which also covers Waltham Forest
and Barking and Dagenham as well as parts of Barnet, Hackney, Haringey, Harrow, Havering,
Islington and Redbridge. Earlier figures for this area are not available.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table
