I propose to take Questions Nos. 462 to 465, inclusive, together.
The number of persons aged under 26 in receipt of jobseeker's benefit or in receipt of jobseeker's allowance at the end of September are 4,302 and 60,742 respectively.
A breakdown of the number of recipients, adult dependents and child dependents by scheme is contained in the following tabular statement.
Number of under 26's in receipt of Jobseeker's Benefit and Jobseeker's Allowance at the end of September 2013.
Scheme | Recipients | Adult Dependent | Child Dependents Full Rate | Child Dependents Half Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|
Jobseeker’s Benefit | 4,302 | 65 | 124 | 107 |
Jobseeker’s Allowance | 60,742 | 4,413 | 6,181 | 1,665 |
