Notes:
- This data includes all households with a third or subsequent child born on or after 6 April 2017. This includes households with children with exceptions, so it does not match published figures for the number of households not receiving an amount of child element due to the policy.
- Data is not available for earlier years. Figures are rounded as appropriate.
- Because the figures are from the latest available data, these figures may not be fully consistent with published statistics.
- These figures do not include Child Tax Credit (CTC) and households may have been affected while receiving CTC.
