Description
We're currently testing individual households between UKMOD and OpenFisca-UK, but some excluding benefit variables, because the take-up imputations are different. There might be a way to force openfisca-uk to match the ukmod take-up values so that we can compare benefit logic in isolation.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing per-household comparison between UKMOD and OpenFisca-UK, focusing on how take-up imputations and benefit variables are currently handled. Determine whether OpenFisca-UK can use UKMOD take-up values, then verify that benefit logic can be compared while those values are held equal.
