Note: Some applications will be from households that applied previously in the same year.
1. Scotland totals for April-September 2007 include estimates for missing data and under-reporting.
2. Data missing due to technical difficulties in implementing revisions to local authorities' HL1 system.
3. Figures for April-September 2007 may represent an underestimate due to an apparent shortfall in the number of cases submitted and delays in local authorities providing error corrections.
