The source adds the following information: 'In national accounts social benefits to households are broken down into two distinct categories: social benefits other than social transfers in kind, and social transfers in kind. The former transfers are typically in cash and so allow households to use the cash indistinguishably from other income, whereas transfers in kind are always related to the provision of certain goods or services (predominantly health care and education), and so households have no discretion over their use.'
