The parameters of the search are claims raised between 01 January 2012 and 31 December 2015 where the claimant is female, has dependant under 18 years of age or no dependants.

Data does not include withdrawn or void applications.

This is provisional management information that is subject to change. It has not been assured to the standard of Official Statistics.
