Request

I would be obliged if you could inform me how much money was paid out in the form of Income Support subsidies during the period from 1 January 2017 until 1 January 2018.

A "ballpark" figure will suffice.

Response

The information you have requested is already published in the Social Security Department Minister’s report 2017.

The figure spent on income support for 2017 was just under £69 million. This information is found on page 46 of the report.
