Limits and sources

Rates per 1,000 people use the mid-2024 population estimates, the latest for every area.

Scottish figures include the Social Security Scotland benefits that replace DWP benefits: Adult Disability Payment, Child Disability Payment, Pension Age Disability Payment, Carer Support Payment and Pension Age Winter Heating Payment.

For benefits that Social Security Scotland pays, each Scottish constituency gets a share of its council's figure, by population at the 2022 census.

Scottish counts for these benefits are Social Security Scotland's latest figures, which can be up to four months apart from the DWP month. Earlier months have no Scottish figure.

State Pension age is 66. It rises to 67 between 2026 and 2028. Counts from benefit records can be higher than population estimates.
