The 2000 to 2006 Income Support report gives an insight into the number of claimants between the age of 16-59 who have a low income, don't have savings of £16,000 or more, or not working or work on average less than 16 hours a week, or are unable to work because they are:

• A Lone parent
• Registered sick or disabled
• A student and either a lone parent or disabled
• Or caring for someone who is sick or elderly

The report displays the information for each quarter; it is split into the different age categories i.e 16-24, 25-49, 50-59 and 60 and over's, it also shows the number of claimants by Male and Female totals, whether the claimant is single or with a partner, the length of the claim and which income support premium the claimaint is on i.e The Incapacity Benefit Premium, The Lone Parent Premium or The Carer's Premium. The data is then reprsented graphically on line graphs for each category, the data is also shown on comparison charts, so a comparison can be made between the different categories.

It is based on the data released by the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions), the data was released at LSOA (Lower Super Output Area) which is then disaggregated to resident postcodes, based on the population and then reagregated back up to the requested area on the fly.
