[1] DWP (2017) Income-Related benefits: estimates of take-up in 2015/16. Estimates of the number of entitled non-recipients have been annualised. Estimates of the number of households receiving Pension Credit will differ from those in Table 10 as they use a different data source and refer to a different time period.
[2] Figures rounded to the nearest 10,000.
[3] The numbers of actual households differs from the numbers actually claiming in Table 10 because they use a different source for consistency with the numbers of households eligible.
[4] A range exists to take into account the uncertainties of the estimates.
