Notes

Universal Credit households in April with a third or later child born on or after 6 April 2017 and not paid a child element for that child, by the constituency DWP places the claim in from the claimant's postcode. DWP counts a claim it cannot place in its nation's unknown constituency, shown in no seat; Northern Ireland is not covered, as DWP does not run Universal Credit there.
DWP rounds every figure to the nearest 10, so areas may not add up. The two child limit was removed and this series has ended: April 2026's release is DWP's last, and only April 2025's and April 2026's are on the 2024 constituencies.
DWP's estimate, from April 2026's claims, of the households not paid a child element whose award would rise once the limit is removed. April 2025's release gives no such table.
