Estimates of benefit take-up are not available at geographies below Great Britain. This is due to the size of the survey sample they are based on and methods used to generate robust national figures.<\/p>
<\/p>
Following a consultation at July 2012 on the future on the \u201cIncome Related Benefits: Estimates for Take-Up\u201d National Statistics series, DWP are planning to publish Experimental Statistics on benefit take-up rates. Further details are available here:<\/p>
<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/announcements/income-related-benefits-estimates-of-take-up-201213-experimental<\/a><\/p> <\/p> In February 2012 the Department for Work and Pensions published the report \u201cIncome Related Benefits: Estimates of Take-up in 2009-10\u201d.
