This data is not available until the claims have been reviewed and HMRC is able to confirm how much payment is due.</p><p> </p><p>We do not calculate average claim amounts for those claims which were not processed within 28 days, as any figures could be misleading. They would not be representative of the range in size and complexity of claims we receive, nor demonstrate the range of reasons why these claims are not paid within 28 days. Such reasons range from simple administrative issues such as missing payment details, to more complex issues requiring the claim to be reviewed in more detail before payment can be released.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 19/01/2023 14:06:24 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
