If you want information about total claimants of one specific benefit, you should obtain it from the appropriate individual benefit dataset and not from this client group dataset.
The families dataset enables users to simply identify benefit units which include children. The dataset consists of adults of working age who receive additional allowances for dependent children and is a subset of claimants who appear on the working age client group dataset.
The children dataset is based on children in families where an adult of working age claims a key benefit and either: receives an additional allowance of benefit for children or young adult dependants (i.e. those aged 16-18 and still in full-time education); or receives contribution-based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) or JSA National Insurance credits only, with children or young adult dependants recorded in the assessment; or receives Child Tax Credit (CTC).
