<p>We published statistics on payment timeliness for new claims on 9 July 2018 which
found 95 per cent of eligible claims (new claims that were due a payment in February
2018) were paid in full within five weeks of the payment due date.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>Our latest internal data shows that for claims due their first payment
in July 2018, 94 per cent of claims were paid in full within five weeks of the payment
due date, with close to 99 per cent receiving at least a partial payment. Further
details for claimants due their first payment in July 2018 can be seen in the table
below. Subject to some fluctuation, this has been broadly consistent for every month
for which the data has been requested.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Within
5 weeks of payment due date</p></td><td><p>6-10 weeks after payment due date</p></td><td><p>More
than 10 weeks after payment due date</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Received Payment in Full</p></td><td><p>94.3%</p></td><td><p>3.1%</p></td><td><p>2.6%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Received
a Partial Payment</p></td><td><p>98.6%</p></td><td><p>1.0%</p></td><td><p>0.4%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>In
many cases where full payment is not made on time, it is due to unresolved issues
such as: claimants not accepting their Claimant Commitment or passing identity checks,
satisfying the Habitual Residency Test, or having outstanding verification issues,
such as housing costs and self-employed earnings.</p>
