Mr. R?n?n Hession:

I do not have the detailed costings on that in front of me, but what we have done within the Department is model different durations based on the 2019 figures. There are exit rates and we have tried to base it on what the exit rates were in 2019. Obviously, jobseeker's benefit at present lasts nine months and we have good visibility over the duration of a nine-month claim. We ran models around that and that was the cost differential. There is a mix of things. Those who would otherwise come off a payment at six months are continuing beyond it and there is also perhaps some effect on the duration of claims, whereby short claims go on a bit longer. There are also other effects with other schemes and their interplay. There is a complex range of factors but we can give the committee a note on it if it would be helpful.
