DWP Tabulation Tool
Welcome to the DWPs Tabulation Tool. This Tool allows you to download National Statistics to your requirements.
The best statistics to use are sourced from the newly published Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study (WPLS). These data are based on 100% of claimants and cover information such as age and gender of claimant, duration of their spell on benefit and geographical locations of claimants.
If you require more detailed breakdowns specific to one benefit (for example type of JSA in payment) you may need to rely on our 5% sample data which has more detail but less comprehensive coverage.
Please use the WPLS data first, and only access the samples if the data you need is not available on the WPLS. DWP recommends that, where the detail is only available on the 5% sample data, the proportions derived should be applied to the overall 100% total for the benefit. The Guide to Sources document lists which information is available from each data source and provides more detail.
For more information on the two sources, download this Guide to Sources (76KB)
