• This is the fourth in a series of welfare reform impact assessments for Cabinet

• Data is correct as of January 2013 for housing benefit data or latest available data for other DWP benefits

• Major new information in this document:
– More on the characteristics of children affected by welfare changes
– Current arrears rates for groups of council tenants who will be

• Analysis is work in progress and in many cases it is too soon to draw conclusions, particularly as many of the reforms have not happened yet.

Camden’s Local Economic Assessment (LEA) describes the position of Camden in the London economy and discusses the economic challenges and opportunities for Camden. The LEA was to provide the Council and its partners with a sound understanding of the borough’s economic position and to inform local decisions on economic development and social policy in the context of significantly reduced public funding. Local authorities are required to prepare an LEA under the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009.
