Latest figures, published today, show that the total value of payments made under the 2007 Single Payment Scheme (SPS) is £1.344 billion which is 92.7% of the estimated total fund of £1.45 billion.
A total of 100,125 customers have received a full SPS payment. This represents 93.84% of the estimated total claimant population of 106,700.
RPA is continuing to validate remaining claims as quickly as possible. RPA has achieved the second of its formal targets of making 90% of full payments, by value, by the end of May and continues to work towards its remaining formal 2007 SPS target of making 96.154% of full payments, by value, by the end of June 2008.
