answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2022 answer text <p>As of the 14<sup>th</sup> January 2022, the number of applications received from gateways (on behalf of employers) and directly from individual employers to the Kickstart Scheme was 65,000. Of these, 31,000 applications were approved and 32,000 were rejected. The number of approved and rejected applications do not sum to the total amount of applications received as some were withdrawn prior to a decision being made. No applications are awaiting a decision. We are unable to disclose details regarding refused applications due to suspected fraud. If cases are under investigation, releasing any information could impede that.</p><p> </p><p>Although care is taken when processing and analysing Kickstart applications, referrals and starts, the data collected might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system, which has been developed quickly. The management information presented here has not been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official statistics but is provided in the interests of transparency. Work is ongoing to improve the quality of information available for the programme.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 19/01/2022 17:45:04 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

Issues relating to eligibility for social security benefits and exemptions from financial assessments are the responsibility of the DWP. As such, there have been no discussions on this issue between the Secretary of State for Defence and his counterpart in the DWP.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 30/11/2021 10:25:36 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
