Children: Maintenance
(asked on 19th January 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many (a) six month notices, (b) three month closure notices and (c) final closure notices of case closure have been sent to Child Support Agency cases in (i) segment 1, (ii) segment 2, (iii) segment 3 and (iv) segment 4.
The table below shows the total number of (a) six month notice letters of case closure, (b) one month reminder letters of case closure, and (c) final letters issued for segments 1, 2, 3 and 4, as at the end of December 2015:
Segment | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Six month notice | 395,500 | 137,900 | 43,200 | 238,900 |
One month reminder letter | 365,400 | 104,600 | 30,100 | 69,800 |
Final letter | 373,000 | 98,900 | 10,400 | 33,400 |
Notes
- Figures rounded to nearest 100.
- The figures are made up from cases proactively selected for case closure, and not those where an application has been made to the 2012 scheme and a related case exists on the 93/03 scheme which is then reactively closed down.
- Cases selected for closure are sent a six month notice of case closure. One letter is sent to the parent with care and one to non-resident parent. They are then sent a reminder letter one month before their case closure date (no letter is sent at three months). They are sent a final letter when their case is closed.
