The data represented here is an extract of data relating to Pension Credit and based on the 694 geographic data zones in Glasgow. Data covers years 2004 - 2013. Full UK datasets are available from the [DWP Website]( http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/NESS/BEN/pc.htm). (© Crown copyright 2009)

All counts have been adjusted using a variant of controlled rounding to avoid the disclosure of any personal information. All cells have been rounded to base 5 and the total equals the sum of the disaggregation shown. Please note that any counts that are shown as zero may not be a ‘real’ zero. . Although all small area totals are within 5 of the true value, aggregating them to form Local Authority totals is not recommended due to the fact that it is the sum of rounded figures. Local Authority totals should therefore be obtained from the [DWP Tabulation Tool](http://tabulation-tool.dwp.gov.uk/100pc/tabtool.html).
