Statistics relating to processing times are maintained by claim type and by Local Office, where the claim process is completed locally. The processing times recorded relate to the time from when each claim is made to the date on which a decision is given. The part a social welfare inspector plays in relation to investigating the circumstances of claimants forms just one part of the overall process.
