Total Incomes Annual Report - 2024
The Total Incomes Annual Report 2024
The Total Incomes Annual Report 2024 is the latest in MSD’s regular reporting on client total incomes, which began in 2022. A custom database is used to outline the overall level of payments and financial support received by main benefit clients – referred to as their ‘total income’.
This annual report provides an overview of total weekly income for main benefit clients as at the end of April 2024. It also monitors how client incomes have changed over the last year, describes the nature and composition of assistance provided to MSD clients, the impact that housing costs and inflation have on total incomes, and how total incomes vary for different MSD clients and family types. The purpose of the report is not to look at income adequacy for benefit clients or full and correct entitlements.
