The number of households in receipt of rent supplement by duration is shown in the tabular statement below. Recipients of Rent Supplement by Duration at end September 2009

This table represents unbroken continuous claims at one address only. Where recipients change address, the duration spent at the old address may not be included in these statistics. There are however over 32,000 people in receipt of rent supplement for 18 months or more at one or more addresses.
