In March 2023, we published the Family Resources Survey for 2021/22. Following this, work has begun to assess whether the data can produce new take-up estimates for 2021/22. In line with the UK Statistics Authority Code of Practice for Statistics, I will provide an update as soon as I know the outcome of the assessment of the data.
