Housing Benefit (HB) overpayments written off during the period as a percentage of the total amount of HB overpayment debt outstanding at the start of the period plus amount of HB overpayments identified during the period. 

 

Performance in 2006-07

 

Our target was 5%.

We achieved 0.44%.

"Smaller is better " so we are better than target.

 

When we compare our 2006-07 results with the latest results (2005-06) for other metropolitan councils, we are in the best 25%.

 

Performance is worse than last year.

 

Comments on our performance 2006-07
