The percentage of claimants going off benefit by returning final certificates under project conditions has risen in the project group to 68.9% <strong>from</strong> 56.8% in the control group, with a corresponding drop in open claims at the end of the project period (to 20.8% in the project <strong>from</strong> 35.4% in the control group). For all DB/IB claims (LBP and non-LBP) in 2002 the percentage returning final certificates as a result of being called for assessment was only 9%.
