The number of recipients is segregated by the Offices in each county. The catchment area of these offices, particularly near the border of counties, may include addresses in neighbouring counties. Furthermore it is not possible to segregate the recipients of Jobseekers Benefit who have transferred the entitlements to their native country under relevant EU agreements.
