Supporting a London borough council with flexible benefit claims processing

With the fluctuation in benefit caseloads affecting local authorities like never before, we’ve been working with a London-based council as a service partner, providing a flexible benefits resilience solution that can be easily adjusted on a month by month basis depending on peaks and troughs in caseloads.

Grants disbursement

Disbursing business rate grants

Getting the right public funding to those in need is important at any time, but critical when supporting the nation through the current health crisis.

We’re here to help councils quickly disburse millions of pounds in government grants to businesses that need extra support during these difficult times.

Our large and experienced team are immediately available and on demand, to help local authorities meet the challenge of disbursing grants quickly and accurately.

To see continued improvements year on year since we have worked with Capita is really pleasing. These are the best ever processing rates for benefits which gives us the confidence we are serving those most vulnerable in our borough in the most efficient way, to best avoid any associated homelessness issues that can arise through delay of benefit payments.
