Recommendation 65
65
Accepted
Paragraph: 215
High discretionary claims indicate unaddressed loss types and lack of clarity.
Conclusion
The high number of claims made for a discretionary award suggests that there are types of loss not yet accounted for within the scheme. It may also indicate a continuing lack of clarity about the headings under which certain types of claim should be made. It is important therefore that the Home Office closely monitors this category of claim.
Government Response Summary
The government states it is already committed to keeping all categories under review and uses existing quality assurance and review processes to monitor trends and policy elements requiring scrutiny.
