The TCR process is led by specialised agents to find incorrectness on claims and put it right. Prior to starting a claim review, agents will preview the claim to make sure it meets the criteria for selection. Claims selected for review are not endorsed on the grounds they are likely to contain fraud or error. It is only once a claim review is complete that an agent can determine the outcome. Performance for the financial year 22/23 is included in the DWP Annual Report and Accounts (ARA) Report<\/a>, available on GOV.UK. The ARA report for financial year 23/24 is expected to be published Summer 2024.<\/p>

  • This is the number of households DWP estimated it would notify to move to UC as of Autumn-23 (where households are couples only one member of the couple is counted).<\/li>
  • The benefits are in a hierarchy so we do not double count households claiming multiple benefits. E.g. if a household claims JSA/ESA/IS and Tax Credits or Housing Benefit they only appear in the JSA/IS/ESA line. Households in the Tax Credit and Housing lines do not include households claiming ESA, JSA or IS.<\/li>

    The Autumn Statement 2023 claim closure measure will introduce legislation to close the claim of those on work-related benefits who do not re-engage for a continuous period of six months or more following an open-ended sanction decision. It remains unchanged that customers usually lose 100% of their Universal Credit Standard Allowance when a sanction is applied.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    The claim closure measure will not be applied where a customer receives additional amounts of Universal Credit (UC) for childcare, housing, or a disability. Where those in receipt of an additional amount of UC remain disengaged for a period of 2 months or more following an open-ended sanction, Targeted Case Reviews (TCR) will be conducted to encourage these customers to re-engage and to confirm their benefit entitlement. The TCR process forms part of our wider fraud and error agenda to ensure we are paying customers what they are entitled to, and a review could result in the customers benefit payment being maintained, reduced, or increased.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    For customers who demonstrate that they cannot meet their immediate and most essential needs as a result of a sanction, we have a well-established system of hardship payments. These needs can include heating, food, and hygiene.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4380", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Churchill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury St Edmunds"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jo Churchill"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-01-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-01-16T12:08:18.867Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Security Benefits"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to help ensure that people whose allowances have been altered by measures announced in the Autumn Statement receive adequate financial support.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "8489"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 6, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
