[null,"Information about New Enterprise Allowance"]
[]
[null,"From January 2015 new starts to NEA have been supported by contracted providers. The way data is collected for these official statistics has changed to reflect this; data for starts prior to January 2015 is taken from the Labour Market System and data for starts since January 2015 taken from the Provider Referral and Payment (PRaP) system."]
[]
[null,"For starts prior to January 2015 a start to NEA is defined as the date the claimant first met with their business mentor. For starts since January 2015, a start to NEA is defined as the date the provider accepted the claimant on the programme. These starts have previously been recorded in the Official Statistics as “mentor starts”."]
[]
[null,"For starts prior to January 2015, a business start is recorded when the claimant begins claiming the weekly allowance. For starts since January 2015, a business start is recorded when the claimant starts trading. Therefore a claimant who starts trading but does not claim the allowance will now be counted in the statistics since January 2015. "]
[]
[null,"For starts since April 2017, eligible claimants wishing to start their own business via NEA are taking part in phase 2 of the scheme. Under this new phase claimants should first attend a Link Up Start Up workshop before moving on to start to NEA.   "]
[null,"NEA Phase 2 has been made available to a wider range of claimants including  UC recipients with existing  businesses whose earnings fall under their Minimum Income Floor. Number of starts under this category are published in this release but due to limited time series data, performance measurements are not available yet.  "]
[]
[null,"Retrospection"]
[]
[null,"Retrospection refers to the time period allowed for additional or updated information to be incorporated into DWP’s data systems. "]
[null,"Work coaches may submit, correct or resubmit data relevant to a mentor or allowance start some time after the actual event occurred. This means that the data presented in each release is subject to some retrospection, and figures may be revised in subsequent releases. "]
[]
[null,"Labour Market System (LMS) datasets are produced with a month delay. For example: data for September 2014 was available at the end of October 2014. Generally we see significant retrospection in the last reported month of the latest LMS dataset (to use the same example: we see significant retrospection in the data for September 2014, which was released at the end of October 2014). "]
[]
[null,"Therefore, to ensure the data published in these Official Statistics are accurate and will not be subject to significant change in the future, the statistics are published 2 to 3 months after the reference period. That is: Statistics for September 2014 are produced using data from no earlier than October 2014 and are published in December 2014. "]
[]
[null,"The Provider Referral and Payment database (PRaP) is a payment system and is not subject to the same delay as LMS datasets, hence we use a more recent dataset to derive the statistics from. "]
[null,"However we still may see retrospection where providers submit, correct or resubmit payment claims some time after the actual event has occurred."]
