CCM10080 - Penalties and Interest: Incorrect Claims - Percentage of Over- Claimed Credits – Enquiries or Examinations Opened on or before 5 April 2008
Percentage of over-claimed credits - this compares the amount
of credits they over-claimed with the amount that was originally
claimed as a result of the incorrect statement or declaration.
To arrive at the percentage you divide the amount of the
over-claimed credits by the total amount claimed and then multiply
by 100. For example the claimant claims WTC and CTC and is awarded
£5,609.20 for the year (£107.87 per week). Following a
Section 16 examination you establish the correct credits are
£4,517.20. The over-claim is therefore £1,092 (£21
per week). The percentage of over-claimed credits is:
(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)£1,092 divided by £5,609.20 x 100 = 19%
You will get the same percentage if you compare £21 per week with £107.87per week.
