The Salford average (2.6%) still remains higher than the Greater Manchester (2.4%), North West (2.2%) and GB (2.1%) averages. The decline in claimants is replicated both regionally and nationally, with the Salford JSA population reducing by 1.8% (-2,916 claimants) over the last 12 months. At ward level Broughton has the highest number of claimants, equivalent to 5.8% of the working age population. Please note: due to the changes in the way JSA claimants are now reported there can be no yearly comparisons made at ward level, the data is now reported at 2013 electoral ward levels. Extract from New Economy Aug 14 Monitor: The very large falls in claimant count should be treated with increasing caution due to the impact of Universal Credit, which has knocked a few thousand people off the JSA count. Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) is payable to people under pensionable age who are available for, and actively seeking work.

6. Universal Credit Universal Credit has started to replace six existing benefits and tax credits with a single monthly payment. Universal Credit will eventually replace:  Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance  Income-related Employment and Support Allowance  Income Support  Working Tax Credit  Child Tax Credit  Housing Benefit The main differences between Universal Credit and the current welfare system are:  UC is available to people who are in work, on a low income, as as well as to those who are out-of-work  Most people will apply online and manage their claim via a a an online account  Most claimants on low incomes will still be paid UC when th they first start a new job or increase their part-time hours Between April 2013 and September 2014, a total of 16,590 people have started Universal Credit. The majority of starters to Universal Credit were males, nearly 70%, and most, over 60% were under 25 years old. Over 80 per cent of the Universal Credit caseload were from Jobcentre Offices in the North West. Currently the data is reported on a half yearly basis.

9. IB / ESA is given to people who cannot work because of illness or disability. IB / ESA Data source: NOMIS Nov 2014 The welfare benefit reforms continue to impact on Incapacity Benefit / Employment and Support Allowance claimants. The changes implemented mean that individuals in receipt of IB will have their benefit status assessed through the Work Capability Assessment, with the majority of claimants likely to be transferred on to Employment Support Allowance (Work Related Activity Group) or Jobseekers Allowance and be required to seek employment. The Salford average (9.4%) still remains higher than the GM (8.1%), North West (8%) average and significantly higher than the UK average (6.2%).

The Connexions Service, on behalf of the local authority, undertakes an intensive programme of tracking to re-accredit learner destinations, which can result in a significant increase to the numbers of young people being categorised as NEET due to their destination being unknown during this period. Accurate performance data is usually returned by October. The table compares the figures for October 2014 with last months figures for young people (16-18 year olds) not engaged in employment, education or training (NEET) at ward level. NEET destinations include: Not yet ready for work / learning; Awaiting a training place (sub level 2 / level 2 place / level 3+); Start date agreed; Seeking employment / training; NEET; Young carers; Teenage parents; Illness; Pregnancy; Religious grounds; Unlikely to be economically active and Other reason.

12. METHODOLOGY 1.DWP Worklessness data is currently available for 2001(frozen) LSOAs and pre 2004 wards. This model uses data for 2001 LSOAs to simulate values for post 2004 (current) wards, on a weighted best fit basis. 2.For 2001 LSOAs where all of the residential addresses are located within a single ward, all of the data for those LSOAs are assigned to the wards in which they are located. 3.Data for LSOAs where the residential addresses fall into more than one ward are assigned to wards on the basis of weightings. The weightings are determined by the distribution of residential addresses within the LSOA that are in receipt of Council Tax Benefit March 2013. LSOA = Lower Supper Output Areas CTB = Council Tax Benefit For further information please contact either: Marion Wood: marion.wood@salford.gov.uk / Jane Roberts jane.roberts2@salford.gov.ukmarion.wood@salford.gov.ukjane.roberts2@salford.gov.uk
