In April 2013, the government introduced a cap on the total amount of benefit that working-age people can get, so that households on out-of work benefits will no longer get more in welfare payments than the average weekly wage for working households. These statistics cover: - cumulative and point-in-time statistics on the number of households capped at GB, regional and local authority level by household type, number of children and amount of cap - GB and regional level off-flow statistics from the benefit cap by reason for off-flow. Official statistics publications are released quarterly on Gov.uk and on Stat-Xplore. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/benefit-cap-statistics
