Notes: Households with repeat applications are those with a repeat presentation within 12 months of a previous application, regardless of the assessment decision for either application. Due to technical problems experienced by some local authorities in terms of identifying associated applications by the same household, these figures are likely to underestimate the scale of repeat applications to some extent.
