Bincome

Record Type BINCOME

This Record contains income and payment data. There is one record for each payment recorded at
question F3.

This Record will only exist for respondents with one or more payments recorded at question F1, (i.e.
where BNF1 is greater than 0). For each payment identified at question F1 (i.e. in variables BF101
– BF159) then there will exist at least one BINCOME record with a corresponding value of BFICODE.

In those cases where payments from multiple sources were combined in a single payments and
individual receipts could not be distinguished, BINCOME records will exist for each source, but the
variables BNFR or BFRVAL may indicate that multiple amounts are referred to, or that the amount
is given on another record.

BFIM09L – BFIM01N are derived variables indicating the estimated amount received in each month,
taking into account joint receipt and changes in welfare benefit levels. These calculations depend on
the variable BFRJTVF, which is a flag variable identifying whether a reported jointly received payment
can be matched to any other persons payment. The code constructing these variables is in the
procedure M2DV.BFIM.

The following variables have all missing data imputed:

BFIM09L to BFIM01N
