Data on the amount claimed for Funeral Expenses Payments (FEPs) is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

<\/p>

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 Some applications may have been withdrawn before a decision was made.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>
