Thanks for the breakdown.Since universal credit, it's been much harder to unpick the benefits stats. This is my best attempt:
Of the nine million, three million are in work and mainly claiming help with housing. What used to be called housing benefit.
Of the remaining six million, about one and half million are unemployed, about three and a half million are classed as unable to work due to health, and about a million are caring either for young children or those with disabilities.
Is pension classed as a benefit?
