Persons on Live Register [LRM01]

Live Register data for January to October 2023 inclusive has been revised in accordance with revised data provided by the Department of Social Protection (DSP).

The Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) scheme ended in March 2022; final payments issued were in respect of the week ending Friday 25 March 2022. All PUP recipients at that stage either transferred to a jobseeker’s scheme or had their PUP claim closed, either because they did not apply for a jobseeker’s payment or they did not have an entitlement e.g. they were in receipt of another scheme payment or were pending a decision on their jobseeker claim.

QNHS calendar quarter benchmarking began in February 2004. In November 2006 the following changes where made to variable descriptors. Unemployment Benefit changed to Jobseekers Benefit and Unemployment Assistance changed to Jobseekers Assistance See background notes
