Ahead of the temporary Jobcentre in Kirkcaldy opening in March 2022, there were 240 Universal Credit claimants assigned from the KY7 postcode, and none from the KY6 postcode. Current information about the assignment of claimants from these postcodes is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate costs.
