These statistics are a leading indicator of the number of properties to be repossessed and the only source of sub-national possession information. In addition to monitoring court workloads, they are used to assist in the development, monitoring and evaluation of policy both nationally and locally. A mortgage or landlord possession action starts when a mortgage lender or landlord completes and submits a claim to the courts to repossess a property. The most common reason for repossession is arrears of mortgage or rent. The court process of possessing a property broadly follows four stages: 1. A claim for a mortgage or landlord possession being issued by a mortgage lender or a landlord; 2. An order being made by the County Court. This can either be an outright order that the property is to be recovered by a specific date, or a suspended order that is suspended as long as the defendant complies with conditions specified in the order; 3. If the defendant fails to leave the property by the date given in the order or does not meet the terms of a suspended order, the order may be enforced by a warrant of possession. This authorises the county court bailiff to evict the defendant from the property. The bailiff then arranges a date to execute the eviction; and, 4. Repossession by a County Court bailiff. Repossessions may occur without county court bailiffs carrying out the repossession through less formal procedures so the actual number of repossessions is usually greater than the number of repossessions carried out by county court bailiffs. Total figures for mortgage repossession are also included.
(Sum of Number of possession claims issued by landlords - accelerated landlord + Number of possession claims issued by landlords - private landlord +Number of possession claims issued by landlords - social landlord)

The data is taken from live tables on housebuilding, starts and completions by district. This metric is the number of completed additional units. This has been calculated by Communities and Local Government (CLG) 1. Social Rent housing with rent levels set in line with the Government's rent influencing regime. 2. Includes new build and acquisitions. 3. Recycled Capital Grant Fund figures and Disposal Proceeds Fund figures cannot be broken down below national level for 2005-06 and 2006-07, so the sum of the local authority figures may not equal the England figure. 4. Includes homes where the cost is met by a private developer (e.g. Section 106 agreements). 5. Some local authority boundaries and names have changed with local government reorganisation. 6. New dwellings are shown next to the local authority in which they are located which occasionally differs from the sponsoring authority. 7. Figures shown represent our best estimate and may be subject to revisions. The figures have been rounded to the nearest 10 and therefore totals may not sum due to rounding.

Adverse (decision to apply a sanction): this a decision found against the claimant, i.e. a sanction or disallowance is applied. An adverse decision can be made at the original decision making point, at reconsideration, or on appeal. Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant. "Whilst claiming JSA, a customer can have a Labour Market doubt raised against their claim. LM doubts are normally identified by staff at the Jobcentre Plus office and are referred to the Sector Decision Makers SDMs). Once the SDM has made a decision on whether to sanction or disallow/allow a referral, they enter their decision on a system called DMAS (Decision Making and Appeals System). The decision is also sent back to the Jobcentre Plus office for entry to LMS (Labour Market System) and JSAPS (JSA Payment System) which then makes the appropriate changes to the actual payment to the customer. Table shows the number of sanction decisions made. Data for the most recent months will be subject to a high degree of revision. Numbers of sanction decisions and decision outcomes can change due to reconsidered decisions and appeals. Known Issues: An issue with the quality of the variable ""Duration on JSA"" was identified when preparing the data for Stat-Xplore. Consequently, information on this variable, which was previously available on the tabulation tool, is not available via Stat-Xplore. Following the publication of the JSA / ESA sanction decision official statistics on 19th February 2014, a data issue within the JSA sanction decision data, specifically to do with outcomes from appeals, was identified. Appeal outcome breakdowns were withdrawn from Stat-Xplore and the accompanying Excel summary tables. A review of the methodology for compiling the JSA / ESA official statistics was carried out. The result of the review was that a slightly wider set of circumstances in which the methodology was not processing data as expected was identified. The official statistics released on 14th May 2014 takes account of improvements to the methodology and contain revisions to historical data. The statistics contained in both the Excel tables and Stat-Xplore supersede all previously published official statistics on JSA / ESA sanction decisions. A summary of the revisions is contained below: 1. Official statistics on JSA / ESA sanction statistics are compiled from individual level data from a number of different administrative IT systems. Complex matching algorithms are used to identify the same cases across different IT systems and to identify any duplicate entries within the same IT system. The previous methodology did not identify duplicate records in all circumstances. Since April 2000, approximately 100,000 additional duplicate records have been identified and removed from the data from which the official statistics are compiled. This represents and 0.7 per cent of sanction decisions made, but has no significant effect on the proportion of sanction decisions in which the decision was to apply a sanction (adverse) or the decision was to not apply a sanction (non-adverse). 2. For a proportion of both JSA appeal and decision review (previously labelled as reconsideration decisions), the outcome was being mis-recorded. The effect of this mis-recording was that a higher number of both reviews and appeal outcomes were being recorded as 'decision not to apply sanction (non-adverse)' when they were, in fact 'decision to apply sanction (adverse)'. The effect of this mis-recording on appeal outcomes was more significant than for review outcomes. Between November 2012 and September 2013, the previously released official statistics indicated that 58 per cent of appeal decision outcomes were a decision not to apply a sanction (non-adverse). This figure has been revised to 18 per cent. For review decisions, the equivalent figures were 52 per cent having a decision not to apply a sanction previously, compared to a revised figure of 45 per cent.

This is the number of dependent children in an area living in working households. A household is defined as: a single person, or a group of people living at the same address who have the address as their only or main residence and either share one main meal a day or share living accommodation (or both). Dependent children are children aged under 16 and those aged 16 to 18 who have never married and are in full-time education.
Estimates on the economic activity status of households are for only those households that includes at least one person aged 16 to 64. Household types are defined as 1) Working household: all individuals aged 16 and over are in employment. 2) Mixed household: at least one person aged 16 and over is in employment and at least one other is either unemployed or inactive. 3) Workless household: no individuals aged 16 and over are in employment.
The statistics are from the Annual Population Survey (APS), cover the period January to December and only include households where at least one person is aged 16 to 64 years old. Estimates for counts are rounded to the nearest hundred and are not shown if the data are disclosive, that is, if the unweighted sample size is less than 3, or if the estimate is less than 500.

Point in Time careload - not cumulative.
Rate is of working age households.
Description:
Benefit cap statistics are derived from the Single Housing Benefit Extract (SHBE). SHBE is a monthly electronic scan of claimant level data compiled from monthly returns of housing benefit claimants from each individual local authority. From April 2013, a Benefit Cap field was added to SHBE which provides the weekly amount that the Housing Benefit of a household has been capped by.
Point in time figures show the number of households subject to the cap each month since the introduction of the benefit cap to the latest month available.
Recording and clerical errors can occur within SHBE - for this reason, no reliance should be placed on very small numbers obtained through Stat-Xplore.
Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant.
Figures may not include very short term capped households. This will occur in instances where a household is capped and then ceases to be capped all within the space of monthly SHBE returns. In any such cases, the recorded SHBE data will not flag that a household has been capped.
In the unlikely event that a Local Authority does not return their housing benefit scan to DWP in time, when SHBE is processed the benefit cap status of households within that Local Authority is taken from the previous months extract. The overall impact of this is expected to be small.
