Information on the number of families and workers in receipt of disabled worker element and the number of in-work families in receipt of the disabled child element are published in our yearly finalised annual awards statistics publication at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/personal-tax-credits-statistics

The numbers of families who are eligible for, but not claiming these elements is not available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

Information on the average number of families benefitting from these elements of the Child and Working Tax Credits in the last five years for which we have finalised awards data is shown in the attached table.
