Cabinet approval is sought for a Risk Based
Verification Policy to be adopted for the purpose of Housing
Benefit administration. The adoption of such a policy will enable
the service to allocate more resources to claims that present a
greater risk of fraud and error. It will also reduce the cost of
administration and improve performance, by reducing the number of
days taken to process new claims and changes in
circumstances.
