Due to a data issue with European Economic Area (EEA) cases, we were unable to publish the 2012 to 2013 EEA caseload figures in the release on 11 September 2013 when the figures were shown as ‘unavailable’. This issue is now resolved and EEA caseload figures were released on 1 October 2013. The revisions were handled in line with standard UK Statistics Authority guidelines.
