February, May, August and November 2004.

the four time points, and are rounded to the nearest
hundred. Figures refer to a benefit unit, which may be a
single person or a couple, and exclude extended payment
cases. Figures for any non-responding authority, or for an
authority which was unable to provide accurate information,
have been estimated. This estimate is based on historical
and regional data.
