Notes: 1 Cells in this table have had statistical disclosure control applied to avoid the release of confidential data. Due to adjustments totals may not be the sum of the individual cells. 2 Month of decision uses the date of decision to allocate to a time period. If a case was referred in one month but not decided until the next, then it will be counted in the decision month. 3 A decision found against the claimant, i.e. a sanction to be applied or the JSA claim is closed (disallowance). 4 A decision found in favour of the claimant, i.e. a sanction or disallowance is not applied. 5 A reserved decision is where a sanction would be appropriate but cannot be imposed because the claimant does not have a current claim to JSA. A case would be re-referred if the claimant reclaims JSA within the period of the reserved decision. 6 A cancelled referral results in no sanction decision being made. This can occur in specific circumstances, for example, the sanction referral has been made in error, the claimant stops claiming before they actually committed the sanctionable failure, or information requested by the decision maker was not made available within a specified time period.

A case would be re-referred if the claimant reclaims JSA within the period of the reserved decision. 6 A cancelled referral results in no sanction decision being made.
