Welcome to Stat-Xplore

Stat-Xplore provides a guided way to explore DWP benefit statistics, currently holding data relating to a range of different benefits/programmes.

Using Stat-Xplore you can:

  • Create customised tabulations.
  • View results in interactive charts.
  • Share outputs via social networking tools or download into common file formats.


The following video outlines some of the basic functionality available within Stat-Xplore (but note that not all the functionality is available unless you are a registered user, such as saving tables).


User consultation on proposed changes to the frequency and timing of some DWP Official Statistics

DWP have launched a public consultation on how we might improve the scheduling and alignment and reduce the frequency of some of our DWP benefits Official Statistics: Benefit statistics Consultation. For Universal Credit statistics the consultation runs to 31st March 2026, and for other statistics the consultation runs to 12th May 2026.


Published and upcoming releases

The latest update to Stat-Xplore datasets was on 17th February 2026 and included newer data released for Benefit Sanctions, Universal Credit, and Quarterly Benefit Statistics.

The next planned update to the site is scheduled for 26th February 2026 at 9.30am. New data to be released will be for the NINO Registrations dataset.

For all upcoming announced publications please visit the upcoming statistics in our statistics release calendar page.


Why should I register?

Registering is optional, free and allows you to:

  • Save Tables - registered users can save bespoke breakdowns of available data and redefine existing breakdowns to suit their specific requirements.
  • Queue Large Tables - registered users can 'queue' the creation of large tables and come back later to check progress and download the results.
  • Customise Fields - create customised variations of fields available in Stat-Xplore datasets.
  • Stay Updated - registering also allows us to contact you with news about Stat-Xplore (maintenance, improvements, expansion of data etc)

If you do not wish to register you can still access Stat-Xplore and will be able to produce tables. However, you will not be able to produce tables containing a large number of cells, which must be sent to a remote server for analysis, and then returned to the specific user making the request. Guest users will also experience reduced functionality compared to registered users such as the registration benefits listed above – these require an account to enable this enhanced level of functionality as these functions need a personal area to save bespoke customisations to, and a personal account to return processed large tables to.
