So at any one time the number defined by JRF as being destitute is 184,000 rather than 1.5 million. Alston said: "1.5 million are destitute, unable to afford basic essentials". He was misusing the JRF data.

For me wheb measuring things such as this. It should all be third party verification. Apporpriate footwear. Havent had toothpaste etc. Multiple personal spending factors would contribute to this

I am not questioning the definition. Why are you responding to my clear question with a non answer? I repeat are there 1.5 million "destitute" all year long? Or 1.5 million have short episodes of "destitution" in a year?
-
It's covered in the definition. Which you are questioning, by obviously not reading, since you keep repeating a question that is covered in the definition
