Research direction
Start by reproducing the 2018 housing benefit aggregate and checking the reported 25% relative error against the absolute difference. Trace the calculation and source data far enough to identify the cause, then correct the discrepancy or document why the result is expected; confirm the aggregate and error afterward.
