Description
From HMRC https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN00870/SN00870.pdf#page=18
Outturn costs have been consistently lower than originally forecast. The main driver of the differences is a lower than forecast take up of the allowance when introduced in 2015 to 2016. Though the number of claimants has since increased over time, the number of claimants is still below that originally forecast.
We may be able to obtain this from the SPI.
