Published by Coactiva for coactiva in Local Government and also in Central Government, Housing

Coactiva is pleased to announce the signing of their 30^thrisk based verification customer, Leeds City Council. Leeds is one of five metropolitan districts in West Yorkshire and deals with around 40,000 new claims every year.

Leeds City Council joins Coactiva’s recent adopters and original 16 sites, as mentioned in the DWP’s HB/CTB S11/2011 Guidance, in reducing costs and improving fraud and error detection.

Coactiva has undergone extensive trials with the DWP and have been subject to rigorous statistical evaluation. The risk models used in Intercept RBV have been developed over a 2 year period to accurately and consistently differentiate between claims at low, medium and high risk of fraud and error at the gateway. Intercept RBV from Coactiva is the only Risk Based Verification solution for new claims and change in circumstances that has been fully proven and tested.

West Midlands based Local Authority, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, also joins Leeds as a new adopter of RBV from Coactiva.

"Solihull selected Coactiva's Intercept RBV solution because of their already proven risk models and growing customer base.

We are now taking a holistic approach to ensuring correctness in the caseload. Using risk analysis provided by Coactiva means we are able to proactively seek out fraud and error both at the gateway and in claim with maximum efficiency." Alison McGrory, Solihull MB Council.

Ray Fielding, CEO Coactiva Group commented: “We are delighted that Leeds City Council and Solihull Metropolitan Council have become adopters of our risk based approach to verification. We look forward to helping the Councils achieve significant efficiency savings enabled by our RBV solution.”
