Notes:
Base: Universal Credit households that had an assessment period that ended in April of each year.
Data for April 2024 is latest available, in line with the most recent published data on this policy.
DWP does not hold data on CTC households affected by the two-child limit.
Figures rounded to two significant figures (to a minimum of 10), and values less than 10 are suppressed in line with disclosure rules.
The difference between these figures and published statistics for Bolsover constituency is because the published stats are for those that do not receive some amount of child element due to the policy, whereas these figures include households that have an exception for all children affected by the policy.
