Bury Council to Conduct a Single Person Discount Review

Bury Council have once again decided to opt for a Single Person Discount (SPD) Review in partnership with Capacitygrid by Liberata.

They initially took the review service back in 2018 where we were able to achieve a removal rate of 3.9%. So following on from this success, they have asked us to conduct another review for them this year.

How Do We Conduct an SPD Review?

Our Single Person Discount Review service uses sophisticated data matching from leading data sources and personal contact to verify and validate SPD entitlements.

We manage the full review process, from data analysis to investigation, handling all citizen correspondence and updating your council tax records if required. We also use templated letters and an intelligent online web form to help support councils’ digital channel shift whilst also offering several communication methods to allow residents to respond to the review.

What we do:

  • Reduce the number of ineligible claims
  • Identify and address fraudulent claims faster
  • Improve accuracy of Council Tax records
  • Maximise Council Tax income
  • Review ongoing claims

The service usually takes four months from start to finish including the cooling-off period so it is a relatively quick and painless process for improving the accuracy of your records and unearthing new income.

To maximise your revenues combine this service with our Business Rates Review service.

Our SPD service can be offered in a variety of different commercial models to suit your needs. There are no upfront fees, no risk and guaranteed outcomes. What do you have to lose?

Eastleigh Borough Council has worked with Liberata for a number of years who undertake the council's empty home reviews, and I must say, their service exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to addressing this critical issue in our community. Thanks to Liberata, the council has been able to maximise our empty home bonus year on year. This positive impact on our community cannot be overstated.

The RV Finder service from Liberata has really helped us ensure that our data is as accurate as possible and, when the VOA has processed the outstanding cases, I fully expect to see more than £1,000,000 of additional RV. The “risk and reward” model works well and the Council only has to pay for their success and the service is something that we will use on a regular basis.

Liberata has been empowered to create a seamless integration with technology to digitally transform the Revenues and Benefits service whilst trying to protect local jobs. The joint strategy has helped to deliver innovative solutions that have exceeded expectations, whilst providing savings to the authority. This surge in digital engagement has helped deliver strong year one outturn with electronic billing and the technology will enable us to show improvements in the benefits speed of processing and in Council Tax processing of moves, discounts and exemptions.
