Pincome
Record Type PINCOME
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 PNF1 is greater than 0). For each payment identified at question F1
(i.e. in variables PF101 – PF159) then
there will exist at least one PINCOME record with a corresponding value of
PFICODE.
In those cases where payments from multiple sources were combined in a single payments and
individual receipts could not be distinguished, PINCOME records will exist for each source, but the
variables PNFR or PFRVAL may indicate that
multiple amounts are referred to, or that the amount is given on another record.
PFIM01L – PFIM01N 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 PFRJTVF, which is
a flag variable identifying whether a reported jointly received payment can be matched to any other persons payment.
The following variables have all missing data imputed:
See the User Documentation for a full discussion of imputation. Imputation flag variables are listed
below. Note that a value is not imputed where the missing value code is -3 ‘amount included
elsewhere’.
The results displayed in the following tables are obtained from unweighted data. A full discussion of
the use of the weights contained on this Record Type appears in Volume A.
