| Annotation | The Help the Aged Income Index for older people has been compiled by calculating the rate of older people living on income-related benefits - Income Support (IS), Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG), or those in receipt of Housing Benefit (HB) and/or Council Tax Benefit (CTB) - for each electoral ward. It uses benefit claimant data provided by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This report is drawn from research conducted by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre at the University of Oxford. It gives an overview of the distribution of older people living on income-related benefits in England and Wales; maps the rates by region; and examines how districts compare on the Help the Aged Income Index. It provides an overview of the distribution of older people living alone on income-related benefits. It examines how rates of older people living on income-related benefits differ between the 65-74 and 75+ age groups. Finally, the Help the Aged Income Index is compared with the Indices of Deprivation 2000 for England and the Index of Multiple Deprivation for Wales. More comprehensive information and listings of the Income Index ranks for all wards in every district are included on the CD-ROM accompanying this report. (RH). |
