Continued suspension of State Pension statistics from the May 2024 statistical release

The National Statistics for State Pension remain suspended. This follows the suspension of these statistics from the release of DWP Benefits Statistics published on 13 February 2024.

Suspension of these statistics also applies to the Benefit Combinations statistics for those above State Pension age, which have also been suspended.

This suspension results from issues with internal processing of State Pension data after it was sent for analysis from the Get Your State Pension (GYSP) system. This only has an effect on statistics that are not yet published.聽State Pension statistics previously published on in November 2023 remain reliable.

We have now fixed the processing issues and are now testing to ensure accurate outputs for the State Pension statistics. Once quality checks are complete, we will confirm when these statistics will be reinstated. The statistics will cover the period June to November 2023.

If we can publish them in the next release of statistics on 13 August 2024, we will update this page with confirmation of our intention to publish before then. If not, we will provide another update on this page on 13 August 2024.

Other statistics usually published as part of the quarterly releases, including working age Benefit Combinations, are unaffected by the above issue.

Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit statistics now published

A release of Official Statistics for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) was published on on Thursday 13 June 2024 at 9:30am.聽This release was originally scheduled for publication on 14 May 2024 as part of the quarterly鈥� DWP鈥� Benefits Statistics release but was delayed due to issues with testing the IIDB data.

Housing Benefit: Data issues with 鈥淧assporting Status鈥� field on Stat-Xplore

Labelling issues were identified in the Passported Benefit Status field for some Local Authorities, between September 2023 and February 2024. This is a data tabulation error in the administrative system used by Local Authorities. As a result, the field has been supressed while we review this. Other fields, including overall totals and actual claims, are not affected.

Housing Benefit: Na h-Eileanan Siar Council data

Housing benefit data covering the period from October 2023 onwards are affected by an interruption in the supply of data from Na h-Eileanan Siar (Western Isles) Council. As a result of a criminal cyber-attack, Na h-Eileanan Siar Council is unable to supply聽DWP聽with Housing Benefit data until further notice. Until the data supply is restored, HB聽statistics that cover Na h-Eileanan Siar Council will be derived from earlier data using the same approach we previously adopted for Hackney and Gloucester.

Please refer to our聽background information note聽for more information on the impacts to our statistics and how we have managed this interruption.
