Dataset description

In April 2013, the government introduced a cap on the total amount of benefit that working-age people can get, so that households on out-of work benefits will no longer get more in welfare payments than the average weekly wage for working households. These statistics cover: - cumulative and point-in-time statistics on the number of households capped at GB, regional and local authority level by household type, number of children and amount of cap - GB and regional level off-flow statistics from the benefit cap by reason for off-flow. Official statistics publications are released quarterly on Gov.uk and on Stat-Xplore. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/benefit-cap-statistics

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
