The Government holds figures for the number of applications to register, but not for the number of additions or deletions from each local register resulting from such applications. This data is only held by Electoral Registration Officers.<\/p>
Since 23 June 2016, 783,834 applications to register have been made. Of these, 642,701 applications were made online, through the Government\u2019s Register to Vote (RTV) website. The remainder - 127,232 applications - were submitted on paper.<\/p>
A breakdown of these applications by type (e.g. home movers, name changes, corrections or first-time applications) is not possible. It can be assumed that the vast majority of these applications relate to general churn in the system, with the annual canvass now well underway.\u201d<\/p>
These figures will include re-registrations from people moving house, as part of the normal churn of electoral registration over time.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4021", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Skidmore"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kingswood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Skidmore"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-09-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-09-13T15:36:06.097Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "53"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-09-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Electoral Register"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many people have registered to vote in the UK since 23 June 2016.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/523", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Nicholas Brown"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Nicholas Brown"} ], "uin" : "45474"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/577435", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/577435/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Since the beginning of the contract between SYNNEX-Concentrix and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), in November 2014, to 11 September 2016, Concentrix has adjusted around 103,000 cases.

After receipt of the request for a Mandatory Reconsideration, HMRC and Concentrix aim to deal with them in 42 days. This time period includes any time that it takes to request and receive further information from the claimant.<\/p> <\/p> Concentrix currently reviews a number of tax credit case types on HMRC's behalf. Specifically Concentrix looks at cases where there is a potential undeclared partner, or potential inaccuracies with work and hours and/or child care charges. HMRC staff carry out a wider range of checks based on a different set of parameters and risk factors.<\/p> <\/p> Since the beginning of the contract, the average time taken by Concentrix to conduct Mandatory Reconsiderations for tax credits decisions is 23 days.<\/p> <\/p> The shortest time for dealing with Mandatory Reconsiderations was 6 days in 2014/15, 1 day in 2015/16 and 5 days in 2016/17.<\/p> <\/p> The longest time for dealing with Mandatory Reconsiderations was 261 days in 2014/15, 330 days in 2015/16, 122 days in 2016/17.<\/p> <\/p> As discussed during the responses on the floor of the House on 14 September regarding this issue, HMRC is no longer passing new cases to Concentrix. Concentrix is instead working to improve the service it provides to claimants and to resolve outstanding cases.<\/p>"}

The table below provides the number of mandatory reconsiderations and appeals that have been received in each financial year since the commencement of the contract.<\/p> <\/p> Appeals<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Number Received<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2014/15<\/p><\/td> 2015/16<\/p><\/td> 2016/17 to Mandatory Reconsiderations<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Number Received<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2014/15<\/p><\/td> 2015/16<\/p><\/td> 2016/17 to <\/p> The total number of appeals received is about 0.08% of all decisions SYNNEX-Concentrix made in the same period. The total number of Mandatory Reconsiderations received is about 1.6% of all decisions SYNNEX-Concentrix made.<\/p> <\/p> Tax credits claimants are asked to provide information within 30 days when undergoing checks for error and fraud.<\/p> <\/p> The information about the estimate of the number of recipients of child tax credit and working tax credit whose payments have been erroneously stopped in each year from 2010 to date is not available in the form requested.<\/p> <\/p> However, if a claimant believes that an incorrect decision <\/p> Tax credits are often reinstated when information to support the claim is provided after the initial decision has been taken. Since November 2014 to mid-August 2016 the Contractor has amended 6,755 decisions following the receipt of a mandatory reconsideration. Since the start of the contract to mid-August 2016 the Authority has amended 280 decisions following consideration of customer appeals from a total of around 660,000 cases where SYNNEX-Concentrix has completed its checks.<\/p> <\/p> HMRC does not hold information on how many of these were reinstated following a cancellation and how many were adjusted following an amendment to an award.<\/p> <\/p> For reasons of commercial sensitivity, HMRC does not disclose its intent around either Clauses B5 or E6 of the contract. For similar reasons, HMRC does not publish the reports completed at the end of each Measurement Period at this time nor disclose the number and value of fines and penalties incurred by SYNNEX-Concentrix under its contract with HMRC.<\/p> <\/p>"}

If a claimant believes the review decision to be wrong, they may appeal to an independent tribunal. During reviews or at appeal, additional information is often provided that could have supported the original claim, had it been made available earlier in the process. The proportion of reviews and appeals that result in the original decision being changed remains small in proportion to the total number of cases processed.<\/p>
