</p><p>(b) Under the Write Off and Part Payment Powers introduced on 10 December 2012
the Department has written off £1.2 million in the financial year 2012/13 and £16.0
million in the financial year 2013/14 giving a total written off of £17.2 million.</p><p>
</p><p>The two figures are not directly comparable. The data is based on different
sources, uncollectable arrears is based on the entire caseload whereas the amount
written off relates to specific cases where agreement to write off has been reached.</p>
