Benefit expenditure tables
The Tables are consistent with the 2011 Autumn Economic and Fiscal Outlook from the Office for Budget Responsibility.
The benefit expenditure tables are currently under review. As a result of this the tables published since 21 April do not contain the same breakdowns of expenditure as those previously published. The tables will be further developed over the coming months.
