The tables in this release show the number of families benefiting from CTC and WTC in each LSOA or Data Zone and the number of children in these families. The tables include out of work families with children who receive the same level of support as provided by CTC, but where it is paid as child allowances in Income Support or income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (IS/JSA).
CTC and WTC are awards for tax years, but the entitlement level can vary over the year as families' circumstances change. These tables are based on families' entitlements at 31st August, given the family size, hours worked, childcare costs and disabilities at that date, and their latest reported incomes. This date was selected because it is the reference date for published Child Benefit statistics - including, for England and Wales, at LSOA level and for Scotland at Data Zone level.
