PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Jobseeker's Allowance (5 November 2014)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Sir Stephen Timms (Labour)
Answer
The information requested in respect of off-flows from Jobseeker’s Allowance by reason is published and can found at: http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/query/select/wizpopular.asp by choosing “all datasets by theme”, then “claimant off-flows – reasons, age and duration” and following the steps to select the required geography, time period and reason for ending claim. It is important to note that individuals are not required to tell Jobcentre Plus the reason for ending their claim and a significant minority of off-flows are to unknown destinations. This is likely to include some of those who left JSA because they reached state pension age.
