Latest figures, published today, show that the total value of payments made under the 2007 Single Payment Scheme (SPS) is £1.295 billion which is 89.3% of the estimated total fund of £1.45 billion.
A total of 98,997 customers have received a full SPS payment. This represents 92.8 % of the estimated total claimant population of 106,700.
RPA is continuing to validate remaining claims as quickly as possible. For some claims e.g. probate cases, payment may not follow for some time. Others may not prove to be eligible for payment at all. This situation arises where, for example, customers have claimed for HFA only, have submitted duplicate claim forms or will receive payment from the Devolved Administrations.
