Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many of the 239,300 Child Support Agency cases where, by the end of June 2016, liability had been ended but the case closure process had yet to be fully completed, had been waiting (a) up to one month, (b) up to two months, (c) up to three months and (d) for more than three months for the completion of the closure process.

The number of cases that have an end liability date but no case closure completion date is as follows:

Notes:

1. Figures rounded to nearest 100
2. Figures in the table won’t match the 239,300 mentioned in the question, due to the fact that cases that were ‘part of a journey, without a liability’ are not separated in the number of cases that have completed case closure, this means that roughly 250,400 are included in the table.
3. 30, 60 and 90 days has been used as a proxy for 1, 2 and 3 Months respectively.
