[1] DWP (2018) Income-Related benefits: estimates of take-up in 2017/18. 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
