Introduction

1. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will continue to work with local authorities (LAs) to tackle fraud and error through the Housing Benefit Award Accuracy (HBAA) Initiative from 1 April 2024 onwards and has secured funding of approximately £9.4 million for the financial year ending (FYE) March 2025. 

2. This circular sets out all the details of the HBAA Initiative for FYE March 2025. The funding is designed to support LAs undertaking the prescribed activities to proactively identify unreported changes and make sure the right amount of benefit is paid to the right person at the right time. 

3. In consultation with LA representatives on the Practitioners’ Operational Group , the Local Authority Partnership, Engagement and Delivery (LA-PED) division has agreed that participation should be in line with the Verify Earnings and Pensions (VEP) service. In other words, we shall assume that LAs will participate unless they provide exceptional reasons not to. Examples of exceptional reasons could include loss of building or a cyber-attack.  

4. An all LA HBAA and VEP Initiatives call was held on 21 March 2024 and the recording of this call can be found on Glasscubes (posted on 22 March 2024).

Background

5. The Spending Review of 2020 awarded DWP funding for a five-year period to support the baring down on Housing Benefit (HB) Fraud and Error through the HBAA Initiative. 

6. The first two years of the Initiative were impacted by LAs’ capacity to deliver because of the COVID-19 pandemic and, consequently, it was run on the basis of LAs ‘opting in’. However, the Initiative became mandatory for LAs to participate from year three onwards.

HBAA Initiative funding for FYE March 2025

7. A launch letter for FYE March 2025 (year five) was sent to all LAs on 21 February 2024, providing details of DWPs plans to continue focusing on improving award accuracy for HB with effect from 1 April 2024. 

8. LAs participating in the Initiative for the FYE March 2025 will receive additional funding to enable them to undertake the following activities: 

• HB Full Case Reviews (FCRs) 

• HB Matching Service (HBMS) referrals, including:  Self-employed Earnings Reviews (SERs) 

• The correct recording of case interventions and case outcomes using LA IT systems only to inform SHBE (Single Housing Benefit Extract).

9. The frequently asked questions on the Initiative have been shared with LAs previously and ‘version 3’ is available on Glasscubes in the HBAA Initiative folder.  

10. Funding for FYE March 2025 was secured in the 2020 Spending Review. The settlement from HM Treasury included funding up to FYE March 2025. DWP has assured HM Treasury the funding will be used to pay for additional staff or to backfill for existing staff. 

11. However, LAs are permitted some flexibility to spend the funding on relevant activities carried out in connection with administering the HBAA Initiative. This could include the purchase of software that will make the HBAA Initiative review process more effective. Any use of robotics solutions must be in line with DWP policy. LAs should refer to the letters from Paul Selby sent by email to LAs on 15 February 2021 and 3 June 2021. 

12. LAs who choose to use part of the funding to purchase software should notify DWP at [email protected] as soon as possible with details of what has been purchased and the amount and or percentage of funding used. This information is required to form a complete picture of LA performance and potentially to help identify and share process efficiencies. 

13. LAs should note that if the option is taken to use funding for non-staffing solutions, full performance will still need to be maintained.

Volumes and maximum funding amount payable to each participating LA

14. The volumes and funding amount payable to each LA is provided at Annex D. These amounts will be confirmed in an HB subsidy circular and a single payment paid into LA bank accounts in April 2024. 

15. LAs should complete activities month by month leading to 100% completion of their funded activities by 31 March 2025. Funding continues to be based on the same unit costs as previous years: 

• FCR £21.43  
• SERs £31.16  
• HBMS £13.26 

16. Do note that these unit costs are averages and we acknowledge that the complexities of some cases will mean that more time is needed to complete some reviews compared to others.

Move to Universal Credit

FCRs

17. As in other years, LAs will receive funding to support the completion of FCRs based on their proportion of high-risk cases. We acknowledge that a large proportion of these cases will be Working Age and, as such, will be subject to migration to Universal Credit (UC) action during FYE March 2025.  

18. On this basis we still expect LAs to undertake FCRs on Working Age cases but will want LAs to consider the complexity and duration needed to complete any of the Working Age FCRs highlighted as high risk (as there may be a risk of migration to UC action occurring before LA activities are complete). LAs are advised they can move down the list to choose cases that make best use of the funding provided, including Pension Age reviews which are not subject to migration to UC action.

HBMS and SERs

19. The funding for the completion of HBMS referrals and SERs has been tapered. This is due to the expectation that the numbers will significantly reduce as the year progresses in response to the UC migration of the Working Age HB caseload throughout the course of FYE March 2025.  

20. It is expected there will be a significant reduction in the overall Working Age HB caseload. So, we ask LAs to complete the HBMS referrals and SERs as soon as possible as this will maximise the opportunity to remove fraud and error in the HB caseload ahead of UC migration action.

Performance management approach

21. LA-PED’s Performance Development Team (PDT) receives regular performance information on the Initiative’s activities. PDT monitors this information and engages directly with LAs where volumes of activities undertaken do not appear to be in line with funding expectations. PDT will also consider the quality of outcomes achieved and will work with LAs to better understand underlying factors that may be influencing variations in these outcomes. 

22. As in previous years, PDT will send performance information to individual LAs which include both volumes of activities and the outcomes declared (in other words, changes in benefit entitlement).   

23. It is for individual LAs to profile completion of their activities. However, for performance management purposes, the assumption will be that LAs will complete 100% of their funded activities over the 12-month duration of the Initiative (which may include front ending HBMS referrals and SERs). 

24. PDT’s Performance Relationship Managers (PRMs) continue to undertake their routine regular calls with HB service managers within each LA. LAs should use this opportunity to discuss the HBAA Initiative and to provide details of their delivery plans. 

25. Many LAs will also be aware that PDT offer free professional consultancy support. If any LA wish to work with them on this, or any aspect of HB service delivery, they will assign someone to provide this support. LAs can contact PDT at [email protected]

Recovery of funds

26. DWP may have to seek the recovery of some or all of the funding where after working with an LA over a period, performance improvement has not been realised or sufficient evidence of exceptional reasons has not been provided. Examples of exceptional reasons have been given in paragraph 3 of this circular.

HBAA Indicator scores

27. DWP provides LAs with HBAA Indicator management information (MI) on a quarterly basis. 

28. The HBAA Indicator scores remain a reliable measure of LAs’ activities to identify reductions in HB. 

29. An anonymised list of all LAs’ HBAA Indicator data is posted onto Glasscubes, alongside graphics depicting the trends by region and Office for National Statistics grouping.

FCR activity  

Definition of the FCR activity

30. An FCR requires the LA to look at and consider all the current claim details and evidence associated with the claim, as well as any other fresher information or evidence they can source for the weekly HB award to be reviewed. 

31.  We are not prescribing how LAs undertake these reviews. The key elements are that LAs should: 

• review and validate whether the current information associated with the claim remains correct 

• seek evidence from the claimant and or their representative, either face to face, over the phone, digitally or by post 

• use all available data including digital (where appropriate), with the aim of identifying any changes of circumstances and recalculating a claimant’s HB award accordingly.

Targeted FCRs

32. From 1 April 2024, LAs will need to undertake FCRs on their share of the top 400,000 HB cases identified nationally by the HBAA risk score. LA can use local knowledge and intelligence to make better informed choices when choosing cases to provide the best return on investment. 

33. The risk model predicts the probability of an HB case having a change of circumstance and is a good predictor of the likelihood that a case has an unreported change of circumstances. It also predicts that LAs will get the greatest return on investment by reviewing high risk cases.  

34. As stated in paragraph 18, LAs should use this as a guide towards completing their FCRs and, where there is a risk owing to migration to UC action of Working Age cases, LAs should use their own judgement and choose cases where there is high probability that a review can be successfully completed. In all likelihood, it is expected that the majority of reviews undertaken by LAs will be of Pension Age.

Data description

35. Since March 2020, all LAs receive their Caseload Risk Data as part of their monthly HBMS files delivered via Transfer Your File. Each ‘live’ HB claim, informed by each LA’s latest Single Housing Benefit Extract (SHBE) return, is assigned a ‘risk’ score, with claims ranked from highest risk to lowest risk in the report. 

36. The top 400,000 cases attracting the highest risk scores are identified separately at a national level, apportioned, and then marked accordingly within each LA’s monthly data.  

37. LAs are asked to undertake an FCR on at least the volume of cases funded, starting with those with the highest risk scores (where practicable and reasonable to do so). Where the LA has already undertaken an FCR within the previous 12 months, the LA will need to determine the value of undertaking a further review on a case by case basis. If the LA chooses not to review the case again, they should move onto the next suitable case on their risk score list for consideration. (see paragraphs 49 to 52 ‘LA flexibilities’ selecting cases and deletion of non-high-risk cases) 

38. Where volumes of separately identified high risk cases are lower than expected (in other words, based on the resource funded to undertake FCR activity) then the LA should consider undertaking additional FCRs based on the next suitable case on their risk score list. 

39. The Caseload Risk Data will be refreshed monthly. LAs are likely to see fluctuations in those cases marked as high risk due to a number of factors, such as changes in the live caseload, changes to HB claimants’ circumstances or seasonal factors built into the DWP risk model, which allocates the risk score.

Data delivery

40. LAs will recognise the Caseload Risk Data through the following file name AOBWR627_LAID_RISK.csv. 

41. LAs will be expected to identify volumes of cases from the file each month and upload into their IT Systems to commence FCR intervention activity. LA IT software supplier guidance is available to support LAs in the uploading of cases in a format acceptable to your IT System. 

42. The first download of data (HBMS file) in scope of FYE March 2025 activities was issued to LAs between the week commencing 4, 11, 18 and 25 March 2024  (weeks 1 to 4 of the HBMS data sharing cycle). 

43. The final download of data (HBMS File) in scope of FYE March 2025 activities will be issued to LAs between week commencing 10, 17, 24 February 2025 and week commencing 3 March 2025 (weeks 1 to 4 of the HBMS data sharing cycle).

Supported accommodation (specified exempt) and temporary accommodation HBAA Initiative guidance

44. The HBAA risk model predicts that supported accommodation and temporary accommodation cases are of a higher risk than the average HB case and are, therefore, more likely to have a change in a 12-month period. 

45. LA-PED has listened to feedback from LAs who believe that the way in which they manage supported accommodation and temporary accommodation cases assists in identifying changes as they happen. Research confirms that although these types of cases are classified as high-risk, they may have low impact on benefit recalculation. 

46. LAs do not need to default to supported accommodation and temporary accommodation cases for FCR purposes and can select from lower risk cases provided that LAs: 

• are assured the relationships with the supported accommodation and temporary accommodation providers are robust and that they share all necessary changes timeously  

• have other processes in place to manage and capture all changes in relation to supported accommodation and temporary accommodation caseloads 

• consider carrying out an FCR on individual supported accommodation and temporary accommodation cases where it would be appropriate to do so 

47. If an LA decides that they will not carry out FCRs on supported accommodation and temporary accommodation cases due to reasons listed above, we strongly recommend that a small sample of cases are chosen regularly to ensure systems and processes are effective in capturing changes.

‘LA flexibilities’ in selecting cases and deletion of non-high-risk cases

48. The risk model selects cases where there is a likelihood of a change occurring and not of an overpayment occurring. 

49. See paragraph 30 for the FCR definition. Those LAs who participated in the Initiative for years one, two, three and four may have already reviewed some of the cases marked with a ‘Y’ as high risk. 

50. If the same cases appear as high risk that have already been recently reviewed, within the past 12 months, LAs may move to cases further down the list. Where these are not marked with a ‘Y’ LAs should use local knowledge of their caseload to then select the most appropriate cases for review. As stated, this consideration will also need to take into account the migration to UC action of Working Age cases over the course of FYE March 2025. 

51. LAs do not necessarily have to delete all the cases without the ‘Y’ indicator (for high-risk cases) as per IT software supplier risk file loading instructions. As an example, if an IT software supplier loading instruction states: 

• “Column N - You may want to remove records that do not have column N - top 400k equal to Y from the csv file. That way LAs can concentrate on these records. Then delete this column.” 

• An LA may wish to ignore if they wish or need to look at cases without a ‘Y’ and by default a lower ‘risk rating’.

Filtering toolkit

52. Some LA IT software suppliers may already have provided functionality that assists LAs filtering cases where recent FCRs have been undertaken. 

53. However, for LAs who need additional functionality in filtering their cases, a bespoke excel spreadsheet with user instructions has been provided by an LA and uploaded to Glasscubes for the benefit of all LAs. This can be found within each of the IT software supplier areas and in the HBAA folder in the LA Data Share (all LAs) area. The documents are: 

• primary spreadsheet for HBAA reviews (Excel document) 

• HBAA high risk spreadsheet – filtering procedure (Word document)

Actions for LAs in preparation for April 2024

54. Accurate MI recording on LA IT systems is a vitally important part of the Initiative for all component parts (after actioning the FCRs, SERs and HBMS cases).  

55. To support performance monitoring it is important that LAs, who receive funding for the FYE March 2025, fully and accurately record information in line with guidance on their IT systems to enable the accurate capture of MI through SHBE for FCRs, SERs and HBMS referrals.

Setting the intervention

56. Set an intervention on your systems for all FCRs and HBMS or SER referrals. This will ensure the recording of an “R Record” (Fraud Intervention Record) within SHBE and the accurate collation of MI for the total HBAA case volumes undertaken by LAs. 

57. FCR interventions should be identified by selecting ‘High Risk Score Case Referral from HBMS’ from the drop-down menu. 

58. HBMS or SER interventions should be identified by selecting ‘HBMS Data Match Referral’ from the drop-down menu. 

Recording the outcome 

59. LAs should follow the guidance and use the new change source codes to record outcomes: 

• LAs should be using code 21 high risk score case referral from HBMS from the drop-down menu

• LAs should also be using code 20 HBMS data match referral from the drop-down menu for HBMS referrals  

60. More details on the process for setting and recording outcomes within LA IT systems for all HBAA interventions is included within HBAA Initiative process guides, held within IT software supplier areas on Glasscubes. 

61. For those, LAs who participated in HBAA year four, the last date for input of an FCR/SER/HBMS intervention start date on their LA IT systems, to count towards year four performance was the day prior to you taking a copy of your SHBE to be submitted to DWP during: 

• SHBE week 1 LAs – Week commencing 26 February 2024 

• SHBE week 2 LAs – Week commencing 4 March 2024 

• SHBE week 3 LAs – Week commencing 11 March 2024 

• SHBE week 4 LAs – Week commencing 18 March 2024 

For Example: A week one LA took a copy of their SHBE on Friday 22 February 2024 to be submitted to DWP on Tuesday 27 February 2024. Therefore, the last date for an intervention start date to be input and recorded on their LA IT System would have been on Thursday 21 February 2024. 

62. LAs should continue to follow-up and record outcomes for all interventions set up on their IT systems, in line with details in paragraph 59, to ensure all data is captured and reported for year 4. It should be noted that DWP refreshes its data for 2 to 3 months after the March 2024 SHBE returns to ensure all information is captured. 

63. LAs can monitor their own performance for year 5 by using: 

• SHBE returns which provide intervention starts and associated outcomes for both HBMS/SER and FCR. Noting that only interventions commenced after the day on which you took a copy of your March 2024 SHBE will count year 5 performance.

MI – Accurate recording

64. Paragraph 8 explained that a key component of the HBAA Initiative is the correct recording of cases and the return of MI to DWP through SHBE. 

65. There has been a strong collective focus between DWP and LAs on processes and the correct recording of information on front end LA IT Systems, during FYE March 2024, to ensure that the MI via SHBE, in support of FCR/SER/HBMS performance, is as accurate as possible.   

66. LAs should continue to assure themselves that all activity is correctly recorded by all agents, so that the MI derived from SHBE by DWP provides an accurate account of their HBAA performance. This is important as the risks of inaccurate MI can result in understated performance and the clawing back of funds. 

67. To assist LAs in this activity they should: 

• ensure all staff actioning cases are familiar with the HBAA Initiative process guidance, adjudication circular and are compliant with the standards set 

• read the IT software supplier guidance to ensure the right codes are being used in the right outcome circumstances – noting that HBMS/SER interventions must be set from the HBMS referral and not as stand-alone interventions 

• engage PDT’s PRMs and LA IT software suppliers where they are struggling with the accurate recording of HBMS/SER activity on their ‘front end’ IT systems and SHBE MI 

68.  The actual SHBE fields DWP will be monitoring are:

Fraud and Error (F&E) detection activities record 

• Field 171 - Date fraud activity initiated 

• Field 173  

• Record as Code 1 = High risk score referral from HBMS (Used or HBAA Full Case Reviews informed by Risk data) 

• Record as Code 2 = HBMS Data Match Referral (Used for HBAA HBMS/SER Referrals) 

• Field 175 - Date fraud and error detection activity completed 
• Field 176 – Outcome 
• Field 320 - Unique T-record identifier

Change record 

• Field 50 - Weekly HB entitlement before change 
• Field 248 - New weekly HB entitlement after the change 
• Field 251 - Date LA first notified of change in claim details 
• Field 253 - Date change of details are effective from 
• Field 254 - How was the change identified? 

Record as Code 21 = High risk score case referral from HBMS. 

Record as Code 20 = HBMS data match referral. 

(Note: These code descriptions have been updated on the LA IT ‘front end’ drop down menu) 

• Field 255 - Date supersession decision was made on the HB claim 
• Field 320 - Unique T-record identifier 

Error record 

• Field 264 - Weekly HB underpayment 
• Field 265 - Total HB underpayment 
• Field 320 - Unique T-record identifier 
• Field 337 - Total HB overpayment 
• Field 338 - Weekly HB overpayment 
• Field 339 - Start date of payment error period 
• Field 340 - End date of payment error period 
• Field 341 - What was the cause of the overpayment

69. It is imperative that LAs are compliant with their IT software supplier guidance in recording information both fully and accurately on the front-end IT systems for activity relating to: 

• Fraud and error detection 
• change 
• error 

70. These data fields will feed the SHBE fields against which DWP will extract MI as detailed above. 

71. It is essential that LAs put processes in place to ensure compliance in the accurate recording of FCR and HBMS/SER information on front end IT systems, which in turn is captured through SHBE to inform DWP MI reports. Failure to comply will impact both LA’s and DWP’s ability to effectively monitor performance and result in potentially unproductive engagement with your LA by PDT. 

72. LAs should engage with their LA IT software supplier where they have any queries about their LA IT supplier guidance to make sure they are recording all required MI correctly. 

73. Specifically, LAs should ensure that:  

• FCR ‘Reason for Fraud and Error Detection Activity’ is captured as ‘Code 1 – High risk score case referral from HBMS’ (Field 173)  

• HBMS/SER Reason for Fraud and Error Activity is captured as ‘Code 2 - HBMS Data Match Referral’ (Field 173) 

74. LAs must not use ‘Code 1 = High risk score case referral from HBMS’ to identify the setting up of any other fraud detection activity not directly attributed with the new Caseload Risk Data or Code 2 = HBMS Data Match Referral to identify the setting up of fraud detection activity not directly attributed with HBMS/SER referrals. This is to avoid the corruption of data extracted by DWP from SHBE to monitor LA performance. 

75. Similarly, when recording the source of an FCR’s change in circumstances (Field 254) LAs should identify by Code 21 Full Case Review. When recording of the source of a HBMS/SER change in circumstances (Field 254) LAs should identify by Code 20 HBMS. 

76. The SHBE timetable of returns for FYE March 2025 is provided at Annex C.

HBMS referrals, including SERs 

Data description 

77. LAs already receive HBMS referrals monthly. All HBMS referrals issued to participating LAs need to be actioned. In addition to the four self-assessment income business rules, there are 23 other rules (27 rules in total). A list of the rules can be found at Annex B. Additional information on the rules can also be found by accessing the HBMS Rules Guide (Version 29), which is available on Glasscubes. 

78. The self-employed data consists of four HBMS business rules, as follows: 

• HBSA002: a separate business rule which identifies non declared self-employed earnings under £10,000 

• HBSA003: highlighting potential discrepancies between earnings declared by the HB claimant or partner to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and LA IT systems (potential overpayments) 

• HBSA004: highlighting potential discrepancies between earnings declared by the HB claimant or partner to HMRC and LA IT systems (potential underpayments) 

• HBHB405: identifies cases where no change has been made to self-employed earnings notified to the LA within the last 12 months.  

79. It should be noted that cases of non-declared earnings that exceed £10,000 are identified and submitted direct to DWP Fraud Investigations for considered action. LAs do not receive these referrals. 

80. In April 2024, HBSA002, HBSA003 and HBSA004 rules will be updated to match data against the tax year 2022 to 2023. Details of this change will be notified to LAs through a LA Welfare Direct bulletin. 

81. During FYE March 2025, each LA will continue to receive the HBMS referrals (including SERs) as part of their monthly HBMS suite of rules. 

82. The first download of data in scope of FYE March 2025 activities was issued to LAs between week commencing 4 March 2024 (week 1 of HBMS data sharing cycle) to week commencing 25 March 2024 (week 4 of HBMS data sharing cycle). 

83. The final download of data in scope for FYE March 2025 activities will be issued to LAs between week commencing 10 February 2025 (week 1 of HBMS data sharing cycle) and week commencing 3 March 2025 (week 4 of HBMS data sharing cycle). 

84. This will constitute 12 monthly downloads of data and will form the baseline referral volumes against which HBMS activity will be monitored.

Additional HBMS fraud intervention MI 

85. There are also additional HBMS MI fraud intervention requirements, supported and captured by front end IT Systems, which populate the following SHBE Fields. 

86. Fraud and error detection activities record: 

• Field 316 – If activity resolves an HBMS referral provide the RMS number. Annex A provides guidance on which codes to utilise 

• Field 317 – HBMS Rule ID 

• Field 318 – Date of HBMS Match 

• Field 319 – If resolution of HBMS referral does not result in a financial adjustment, please indicate the reason why. 

87. Again, it is essential that LAs familiarise themselves with ‘front end’ IT fields that require completion to ensure this information is correctly recorded and captured for reporting purposes. 

88. A key aspect of the initiative linked to receipt of funding is that LAs comply with the correct recording of cases and the return of MI to DWP. 

89. LAs should refer to the HBMS Rules Guide available on Glasscubes, which has been revised to better support the accurate completion and submission of HBMS MI spreadsheet returns.

HBAA Initiative funding allocations methodology and estimated volumes 

FCR allocation methodology 

90. There will be around 400,000 FCRs conducted over an annual period, nationwide. DWP has secured funding on this basis, using a unit cost of £21.43 per review. Each LA has been allocated funding based on the average number of their caseload that appears in the top 400,000 cases nationally in the period January to December 2023.  

FCR volumes and funding 

91. Funding was calculated for each LA separately and is based on an expected volume of FCRs.  

92. The national number of high-risk FCRs we are asking LAs to conduct in FYE March 2025 (year 5) is approximately 400,000; this is the same number as in FYE March 2024. However, please note that there may be differences for individual LAs’ annual allocation of FCRs between FYE March 2024 and FYE March 2025. This will be as a result of any changes in an LA’s caseload composition over the last year that we observed on SHBE. 

93. Also note that the national number of HBMS and SERs matches in FYE March 2025 will decrease by 45% and 74% respectively compared with the year before. This decrease is driven by the reduction in HB caseloads and, in particular, the movement of Working Age cases to UC. As with FCRs, do note that changes in any specific LA’s HBMS and SERs allocation will depend on local changes in each LA’s caseload mix.  

FCR unit costs calculation 

94. The unit costs of £21.43 is based on an FCR taking 57 minutes. This average was derived from the FCR pilot involving 16 LAs. LAs taking part reported an average duration of 24 minutes as the time taken to conduct an FCR. However, there was a lot of variation depending on the complexity of the case. LA-PED consulted with a number of LAs and agreed to increase the unit cost to £21.43 (57 minutes) to account for complex cases and the cost of HB debt collection, appeals and any supporting clerical administration. 

95. The risk model used to calculate the risk associated with an HB case has a seasonal element and as such there will be some months when you have a much higher or lower number of cases in the top 400,000. As stated previously, we encourage LAs to carry out reviews month by month and not allow cases to build up for action towards the end of the year.  

HBMS referrals allocation methodology 

96. The total funding for completion of all HBMS referrals (not including SERs – see paragraph 99 for separate detail) was determined by calculating the cost of actioning all referrals issued in FYE March 2019 and adjusting this using forecasts for FYE March 2023. The unit cost is £13.26. 

97. The funding allocation for each LA has been determined by calculating the percentage of the national caseload accounts for (as of October 2023) and applying this percentage to the total funding pot. 

98. It has been calculated on this basis so that those LAs who already manage the accuracy of their HB caseload are not losing out.  

SER allocation methodology and funding 

99. As opposed to the other HBMS referrals, the total funding for the SERs was based on the forecasted self-employed caseload for April 2023, using a unit cost per review of £31.16. 

100. The funding allocation for each LA has been determined by calculating the percentage of the national self-employed caseload that their self-employed caseload accounts for (as of October 2023) and applying this percentage to the total funding pot. 

101. It has been calculated on this basis so that those LAs who are already proactive in reviewing their self-employed caseload do not lose out.  

SER volumes 

102. The volumes of SER referrals are expected to reduce throughout FYE March 2025 as cases move to UC or have a change of circumstances. 

103. If an LA believes that the volume of SER referrals (Annex D) is not an accurate reflection of the volume of self-employed cases for their authority, they will need to ensure that all self-employed cases are accurately recorded on their HB IT system and ultimately SHBE, so that funding can be more accurately allocated in future years. 

104. The total funding allocation is based on the forecasted self-employed caseload for FYE March 2025. 

105. The unit costs of £31.16 is based on a review length of 82 minutes. This is the same amount as previously provided for the SER in 2019 (including an element for overpayment recovery action) and accounts for the complexity of the work and any supporting clerical administration.

Other fraud and error activities 

106. Other business as usual fraud and error activity should continue as normal.

HBMS codes  

This following list should be used to decide which result code should be selected for an HBMS referral outcome where it has identified there has been no under or over payment made to the HB claim. 

The reporting to DWP of HBMS result codes are for statistical purposes only and the submission of a result code will not prevent the generation of HBMS referrals. The HBMS match will keep occurring until the appropriate action has been taken to the HB claim to prevent the match.  

It is impossible for DWP to devise a code to cover every single activity that could be carried out during a live claim. LAs are advised to select the code that best describes the circumstances.  

Code 1 - Duplicate referral 

This code should be selected if more than one referral has been received for the same claimant: 

• this could include more than one referral under the same HBMS rule

• it could be used if more than one HBMS referral is received under different HBMS rules but for the same claimant. It is expected that all the HBMS referrals should be actioned but could be recorded within one activity and the remainder of the referrals could be recorded as duplicate 

Code 2 - Changes due to Universal Credit   

This code should be selected for any changes made to HB due to a claim of UC. 

Code 3 - Retrospective change 

This code should be selected if, in between the date of the DWP HBMS data match and DWP issuing the referral, a change of circumstances has been reported by the claimant and the referral has already been actioned by the local authority. 

Code 4 - Backlog of work 

This code should be selected if the local authority were aware of information in relation to a HB claim that would generate an HBMS referral, the local authority has not had time to start their action prior to the HBMS referral being issued. 

Code 4E - IS/JSA clerical case 

This code should be selected if Income Support or Job Seekers Allowance has been paid or is currently being paid clerically. 

Code 4Z - Case already under investigation prior to receiving the HBMS data match 

This code should be selected if the local authority was already investigating the information that generated the HBMS referral prior to it being received. 

Code 6 - Unable to trace Occupational Pension 

This code should be selected if no Occupational Pension payments could be traced for the claimant. (Only to be used on the occupational pension HBMS rules) 

Code 6F - Lump sum payment 

This code should be selected if the claimant has received a lump sum payment as part of their Occupational Pension. (Only to be used on the Occupational Pension HBMS rules) 

Code 6G - Claimant deceased 

This code should be selected if the claimant has died, and no overpayment has been created. 

Code 6Z - LA error 

This code should be selected if incorrect information was processed as part of a HB claim that resulted in an HBMS referral being issued. (Local authorities must correct the error to prevent further referrals being generated) 

Code 7 - Terminated claim 

This code should be selected upon the closure of a HB claim. 

Code 8 - Non-dependant 

This code should be selected if the non-dependant code is still applicable. 

Code 11 - Still below applicable amount / No affect to benefit 

This code should be selected if the discrepancy was highlighted by the HBMS referral but once corrected the change had no effect on the amount of HB in payment. 

Code 12 - LA data error 

This code should be selected if an HBMS referral has been generated due to an error found within the local authority IT system. 

Code 13 - HBMS user error 

This code should be selected if no other codes are suitable. 

Code 14 - DWP / external data source error 

This code should be selected if the HBMS referral has been generated because of incorrect data outside of DWP or a local authority. This could include HMRC or the Prison Service. 

Code 15 - Temporary absence 

This code should be selected if the claimant was previously or is currently temporarily absent from the HB address and does intend to return. 

Code 16 - Claimant vacated 

This code should be selected if the claimant no longer lives in the property where HB is being claimed and can no longer be contacted, therefore the local authority has closed the HB claim. 

Code 17 - HB address correct 

This code should be selected if the local authority is satisfied that the address they hold for the claimant is correct.
