Why is the Pension Credit Assessed Income Figure (AIF) different to normal state benefit uprating and included in the indicator?
A. With the introduction of the right time performance indicator we tried to make things easier by including as many changes as possible in the count. The exclusion of normal state benefit uprating was because these are processed automatically in bulk. As pension credit cases are usually uprated on a case by case basis or in smaller batches it was decided that these would be counted towards the indicator.
