Cuts Watch Cymru is a coalition of third sector organisations investigating the impacts of welfare reforms on people living in Wales. Through talking to people affected by the changes, we seek to build a clearer picture about the impacts on different groups of people in different localities. This statistical briefing has been produced to give an overview of the characteristics of claimants across the main benefits, using the latest available data for Wales. In particular, it pays attention to possible issues in light of the welfare reforms. This will be a regular briefing which focuses on specific benefits that are subject to change, where data is available. The current briefing focuses on several of the major out-of-work benefits that are subject to change, which include:

Job seeker’s Allowance
Incapacity Benefit
Employment and Support Allowance
Income Support
