DISCONTINUED DATA - Final available dataset: fq_Q4_2012_13. This measures the average time taken in calendar days to process all new claims and change events relating to Council Tax Benefit.

Change events are defined as a change of circumstances which requires a decision to be made by the local authority but excluding automatic up-rating and annual council tax increases, batch changes to Council Tax liability, and revisions to earlier decisions, e.g. following an accuracy and/or management check or appeal/reconsideration/revision.

From Q1 2011/12 RTI has been replaced by Speed of Processing (SoP).
