We have interpreted dispute to refer to any situation where there is a disagreement between parents about the details of a child maintenance case which have an impact on the amount of child maintenance to be paid. As such, a dispute could refer to mandatory reconsiderations and/or appeals. Statistics on mandatory reconsiderations and appeals are published in tables 15 and 16 of the Child Maintenance Service: Aug 2013 to Mar 2018 (experimental) available online at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-maintenance-service-aug-2013-to-mar-2018-experimental<\/a><\/p>

Information on current mandatory reconsiderations and appeals will be available in future publications, information up to the end of June 2018 is due to be published in September 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

The volume and percentage of mandatory reconsiderations cleared within 20 working days is also published in table 15 of the Child Maintenance Service Statistics.<\/p>

On average in 2017/18, appeals were with the Child Maintenance Service for 42 days.

      The number of FEP applications received by the DWP and awards as a proportion of FEP applications processed, in each calendar year since 2005, are given below in table 1. They are rounded to the nearest 0.1%. Figures are not given for 2018 as the calendar year is incomplete.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      Due to the timing of application processing, figures on awards may relate to applications processed in the previous year.<\/p>

      Notes:<\/p>

      <\/p>

      • These figures do not include applications that were processed clerically and have not been entered on to the Social Fund Computer System.<\/li>
      • Figures on applications received differ from the number of applications processed by the DWP. Some applications may have been withdrawn before a decision was made.<\/li>
      • The number of applications made in each year is not equal to the number of people who made applications in that year. An individual may make multiple applications in a given time period.<\/li>
      • The proportion of FEP claims resulting in an award is calculated by dividing the number of awards in a given year by the number of applications processed by the DWP in a given year. The number of awards used in this calculation includes awards made after review, reconsideration or appeal following an initial refusal.<\/li><\/ul>
