The information requested by the relating to the county breakdown of the number of current recipients of the One Parent Family Payment at the end of April is detailed in the attached tabular statement.

It should be noted that the county level statistics indicate the number of people signing-on for payment at an office located in the county indicated. As the catchment area of many local offices cross county borders this data is not equivalent to the number of people residing in each county who are signing-on.
