Quality Statement
It is possible that errors can occur in the recording of weekly award (both on a form and inputting onto a computer system during the processing of the claim).
In particular, it is possible that, for some claimant records, the monthly award may be recorded instead of the weekly award. Therefore, care should be taken when looking at high weekly award bands broken down by local authority or parliamentary constituency.
