We said
Thank you for your query regarding benefits received by people born in the UK and not in the UK.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the information requested. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) produce their own detailed statistics regarding the characteristics of benefit claimants. ONS does not have access to these detailed datasets used to produce those statistics.
We would therefore suggest contacting DWP directly, as they may be better placed to assist. They can be contacted via email at freedom-of-information-request@dwp.gov.uk.
