What changed

More people, more claims or bigger payments?

Ilford South, Carer's Allowance and Carer Support Payment: yearly spending at the rate in February 2023 and in March 2026.

February 2023£6.6m
Population+£0.24m
Share claiming+£2.2m
Payment size+£1.5m
March 2026£10.5m
The share claiming is the number of people claiming per person aged 16 to 64. Yearly spending here is the number claiming, times the average weekly payment, times 52. It is not the amount paid out over the year. Population after mid-2024 stays at the mid-2024 figure, so later growth shows in the share claiming. Scottish areas are left out because Social Security Scotland pays this benefit.
