Benefit rules mean that the effective date of a change is one of the most important values passed to the back-office application. In practice this means dealing with multiple changes. This can be complex for a user as they are required to ensure that the changes are placed in chronological order prior to being processed.
As you wouldn’t want to mandate to the citizen that they provide things chronologically rather than by type, the eChanges form handles all of the logic to derive the correct order for changes to be passed to and updated in the back-office. For example, a citizen reports:
Partner moved in on 21/11/2017
New earnings from 01/11/2017
A change in rent from 01/09/2017
The change in circumstances form will extrapolate out what needs to happen and will push XMLs to the back-office as follows: XML 1 01/09/2017 Change in rent
XML2 01/11/2017 Change in rent & New earnings
XML3 21/11/2017 Change in rent, New earnings & New partner
This intelligence ensures that the back-office benefit periods are updated in the exact same manner they would have been updated were the changes done manually.
The eChanges is capable of and has proven integration to the following widely used back-office EDM applications:
Information@Work/ NEC DM
Civica W2/360/Comino
Civica Workflow
IDOX
OpenText
ICLipse
IEG4 OpenProcess
Both the form PDF and evidence uploaded during/after submission can be fully indexed automatically.
The fast track functionality provided within the eChanges form ensures that citizens are provided with the ability to choose to provide all of their evidence prior to submission in order to have their claim processed quicker.
If a citizen does not choose the fast track method, they will have their application processed in the standard SLA for that council. Where the citizen opts in to Fast Track the council is able to let the citizen know how long it will be before it is processed; but this will be significantly quicker than the standard SLA.
The beauty of this service being embedded into a digital service is that the council gets all of the evidence it needs to process the claim on day one and the citizen is ensuring their claim is processed much faster than it otherwise would have.
Enhanced EDMS integration for Fast Track
When citizens submit a change(s) using Fast Track, the service is able to dynamically inform the EDMS application:
1. That the change is fast track or not
2. Separately identify the specific type of evidence as well as indicate whether it is linked to a fast track change or not
Enabling of Fast Track is done by IEG4 so please contact help.ieg4.com to have this enabled for eClaim or eChanges.
The following settings are also present where a council ALSO has Risk Based Verification:
Setting Name
What it does
FastTrackHighRisk
If 'FastTrack' is enabled this setting allows you to provide this option if the claim is high risk by setting it to TRUE.
FastTrackMediumRisk
If 'FastTrack' is enabled this setting allows you to provide this option if the claim is medium risk by setting it to TRUE.
FastTrackLowRisk
If 'FastTrack' is enabled this setting allows you to provide this option if the claim is low risk by setting it to TRUE.
Citizens can report that they, their partner or non-dependent are now in receipt of Universal Credit and, where relevant, the user is presented with a page designed in the exact layout of the UC Award letter.
Like the eClaim, this page captures all of the details of the person's UC award. This means that the officer can make a better-informed decision on assessment.
The DfE (Department for Education) - ECS (Eligibility Checking Service) will provide a real time response when requesting whether a person has entitlement to Free School Meals.
We send a message like this, which takes the data from the form to do so:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SubmitSingleQueryRequest xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</SubmitSingleQueryRequest>And get a response like this if a person is eligible:
Getting access to the DfE's ECS is normally relatively tricky, as the council needs to complete documentation illustrating how any service will work and interact with their service, which contains relatively sensitive information.
IEG4 has a completed template for this where only a few localisations are required to make the process extremely quick.
The DfE will provide the necessary system, user, password information upon successfully passing the necessary checks.

</SubmitSingleQueryResult>Sometimes you might want to know what the outcome of our checks of the following were:
Department for Education Eligibility Checking Service
Back office Benefit system
Within IEG4's Forms Portal, which you can read all about here:
It is possible in the Documents tab to see multiple files related to this.
So in the following:
We can see two files:
FSMQuery.xml - this is the request we sent to the DfE's ECS service
FSMResponse.xml - this is the response we received from the DfE's ECS service
If someone is ineligible as a result of the DfE's ECS check, we will then check eligibility to LCTS. In that case we log three additional files:
These are:
CurrentClaim.xml - this is the detail of the benefit claim found
PersonSearchRequest.xml - This is the search request to find the person in the benefit system
PersonSearchRequest.xml - This is the search response when trying to find the person in the benefit system
Having access to these files is useful if there is any doubt about eligibility.
Similar to the BACS Extract, it is possible to create an export of your data in a clear and intelligible manner.
As a part of your implementation you'll be provided with an application that you will simply need to provide it with:
From Date
To Date
And this will output an extract file that contains a row for each application with all of the following fields (where applicable):
The application we will provide to is designed to run locally in your council.
So it has built in configuration which tells it how to go and capture these details from the cloud securely.
For security purposes we will provide the information required for the configuration file separately from the application package.
The only thing that you will add outside of this is the network path that you wish to write the file to.

RefusalReason
The power of the IEG4 solution and reason for the high automation levels its customers achieve are in the real-time checks that are built in.
These are designed to prevent exceptions and forms being submitted in circumstances where you would not want this to happen.
Prior to submission the Single Person Discount form will:
check if the council tax account number entered and the surname of the account holder match
retrieve the user’s address if they successfully authenticate in step 1
checks if there is already a single person discount on their account to prevent spurious activity
retrieve the current liable parties/named occupants to enable a user to indicate who has moved out where they are applying for a discount
checks the number of resulting occupants is 1 when they are applying for a discount and prevents submission if not
enables the user to add additional named occupants that were not present against the account i.e. cater for incomplete back-office data sets
check for the presence of a benefit claim and, where, present enable a benefit change of circumstances for people moving out
check in real-time, using the industry leading online bank verification service from Loqate (GBG Group) that the bank account details are valid prior to form submission where they want to pay by Direct Debit on the new account.
Owing to the large number of Discounts, Exemptions and the different questions/supporting evidence needed, councils typically have many separate forms. However, digital should be about more than simply replicating paper, it should be an opportunity to provide something better. i.e. A solution that asks a citizen about their circumstances and, from that, guides them to the appropriate Discount/Exemption and the information they need to provide. This service enables citizens to provide details of who they are, the property in question and the means to apply for a reduction based on the person’s status, disability, or property. Supporting 27 different Discount/Exemption scenarios and Disabled Band Relief, it is a one-stop digital shop for citizens seeking reductions.
The form supports these four high level areas:
• Someone isdisregarded
• My property isempty
• My property has been adapted for someone
• The property is an exempt type For disregarded people, the following person statuses are supported:
Severely Mentally Impaired
Carer
School/College Leaver
Child BenefitRecipient
The following empty property statuses are supported:
Awaiting sale
Awaiting let to tenants
Awaiting occupation
It’s uninhabitable due to structural works
Full-time Students
A student’s foreignspouse/dependent
Religious CommunityMember
Detention/Prisoners
Hospital/Residential Care
Diplomats
It’s been left empty by someone now in care
It’s been left empty by someone now in prison
It’s been left empty by full time students
It’s been left empty because of a repossession
It’s been left empty by a bankrupt person
It’s been left empty awaiting a minister of religion
It’s been left empty as occupation is not permitted by law The form will capture details of whether the following have been adapted for disabled band reduction purposes:
A room (other than a kitchen, bathroom or lavatory) which is mainly used by, and required for meeting the needs of a disabled person/people
A second bathroom or kitchen which is required for meeting the needs of a disabled person/ people
A space for a wheelchair used within the property by a disabled person/people The following exempt property types are supported:
Unoccupied property owned by a charity
Student Halls of residence
UK Armed Forces Accommodation
Visiting Forces Accommodation The form also supports the ability for citizens to upload evidence to provide the status of household occupants or their property
The power of the IEG4 solution and reason for the high automation levels its customers achieve are in the real-time checks that are built-in. These are designed to prevent exceptions and forms being submitted in circumstances where you would not want this to happen.
Prior to submission, the Refund form will:
check if the council tax account number entered and the surname of the account holder match
retrieve the user’s address if they successfully authenticate in step 1.
check for the presence of a refund
retrieve details of the balances of all years
offset any refund against monies if applicable to show the true credit
check if the account was previously paid via bank payment (DD) and if so default the refund payment details to go back to that account
where they want to pay a new account or did not previously pay via a bank account, we will check in real-time, using the industry-leading online bank verification service from Loqate (GBG Group) that the bank account details are valid prior to form submission.
All IEG4's online form's shared common 'platform' level functions. Details of these can be found in the Platform Functionality section here:
IEG4’s eClaim enables citizens to apply for help with:
Housing Benefit
Local Council Tax Support/Reduction/Discount
Free School Meals / School Clothing Allowance
With an intuitive and dynamic design, IEG4’s eClaim means a citizen’s online form scales (becomes smaller or larger) reflective of their circumstances. The number of pages is kept to a minimum as a result. Equally, where a person’s circumstances are complex, the form expands in scale to handle this.
To ensure data is always provided accurately there is validation on fields that will clearly show where an issue lies. E.g. a National Insurance number entered incorrectly. Help can be added/edited/ accessed with buttons able to be added against every single question.
The eClaim is designed to ask questions contextually, maximise digital usage and welfare uptake. So, where a child is added it is possible to add expenses like childcare costs as well as to apply for Free School Meals where the person meets the relevant qualifying criteria.
This guide is broken down into two sections.
The Shared Features/Settings that all forms IEG4 provide can take advantage of.
The department specific forms and the functionality they specifically provide
IEG4’s Benefit services are some of the most intelligent and powerful services delivered to councils.
Combining legislative compliance with technical acumen, IEG4’s benefit services enable citizens to apply for / report changes quickly and easily; with the data/content/supporting documentation automatically updated into back-office applications.
IEG4’s forms enable councils to provide simple to use, powerful online services that citizens can access 24/7 on the device of their choice. Indeed, IEG4 is a trusted partner to local authorities with our online forms chosen by one in every five councils.
Our focus as a company is to deliver digital transformation that is simple and effective irrespective of the complexity of the services. With that in mind, IEG4 forms are designed to provide intelligent and intelligible services for citizens to request, report, apply for some of the highest volume and most complex services in local government. Our focus on delivering better outcomes means that many of our services are simpler to complete than competing products and yet achieve higher levels of automation.
In 2011, we introduced the first example of automation with our online changes form for Housing Benefits and Council Tax support, which could securely authenticate the citizen and personalise their experience. Some of the largest councils that administer Housing Benefits and Council Tax Support in England e.g. Leeds City Council choose IEG4 to provide their digital benefit services.
In 2017, we built the first Taxi Licence Renewal form that was able to authenticate the taxi driver and enable their existing licence details to be retrieved. This shortens the length of the form; ensures we’re not asking the citizen for something they have previously provided, and enables full automation of the update to the licensing application.
In 2018, we built Council Tax online forms that were able to automate updates from citizens at higher rates than Robotic Process Automation (RPA). This involved the orchestration of over 20 API updates to the back-office council tax system. The councils using IEG4’s Council Tax forms are achieving close to 100% automation in what is one of the most complex and highest volume areas of any council.
This year we have added a new Bulky Waste service to our already powerful Missed Bin and Request a Bin services. With integration to four separate systems (Waste Management, Benefits, Payment Management and Workflow), it enables bulky waste requests to be simple to complete, compliant with the council’s policies, for payment to be captured and for the transaction to be fully automated.
Our online forms have been designed from the ground up to be mobile-responsive, work natively in a cloud architecture. Close to three million online forms have been submitted since IEG4 moved to exclusively using Microsoft Azure hosting.
To ensure that the eClaim adapts to your local council tax support scheme, there are dedicated
settings such that you can:
Ask for proof of capital even where the person is ‘passported’ because your capital thresholds are below the standard £16,000 level
Ask whether the person is within a ‘vulnerable’ group and therefore exempt from the normal working age rules e.g. in receipt of Personal Independence Payment/has a child under five
Set different maximum periods for backdating
The eClaim also dynamically detects whether the person is of pension age using their date of birth
and pension equalisation rules. Therefore, ensuring that working age specific rules for LCTS are complied with.
IEG4 has an entire library of digital services provides a ‘Council in a box’ represents an opportunity for local authorities to make a step change forward with their digital strategies, wherever they are in the journey.
These come as a part of being licensed to our OneVu or eDesigner services. Content within the online forms can be edited using the built-in text editor. This means that question wording, guidance notes and help text will be editable by individual councils to suit their own needs. This includes the ability to support additional languages e.g. Welsh.
Services/forms are continuously being added to the Local Government as a Platform (LGaaP) store by customers using the eDesigner module and any of the forms in the library can be added to / manipulated with eDesigner (if this is licensed) too. Forms cover all of the following departments with some examples :
• Council Tax (e.g. Request a refund/Report a death/Evidence Upload)
• Benefits (Two Homes Payments/Overpayment Arrangement)
• Bins & Waste (Request an Assisted Collection)
• Business Rates (Summons Payment Arrangement/Evidence Upload)
• Customer Services (COVID – Request Assistance/Comments, Complaints, Feedback)
• Environmental Health (Report Fly Tipping/Report Graffiti)
• Housing (Housing Needs Enquiry/Report Housing Disrepair)
• Human Resources (Job Application/Report Absence)
• Licensing (House of Multiple Occupation Licence application)
• Miscellaneous (Parking Waiver Application/Visiting Team Referral)
• Planning / Building Control (Building Control inspection request/Report planning breach)
• Social Care (Report domestic violence)
The following is the full list of online forms IEG4 provide and our customers have built. Forms built by customers with eDesigner can be shared across councils to avoid re-inventing the wheel and benefit from a community of users:
Simply make a request through the help desk:
If you have eDesigner and have built a new form you think others would be interested in please let us know on the eDesigner Microsoft Teams Board here:
This list of forms also includes the powerful product forms IEG4 provides so as to enable one to understand the vast scale of the library.
The vast majority of forms are available at no charge, however, we do reserve the right to charge for the more complex forms, with 25% of any charge returning to the originating council (in the form of a credit against IEG4 invoices) to recognise the effort that went into these by the council.
To ensure councils could have as much information as possible in circumstances where the person is claiming UC, the eClaim has a dedicated page for Universal Credit. Designed in the exact layout of the UC Award letter, the page captures all the details of the person's UC award meaning the officer can make a better-informed decision on assessment.
There is also additional dynamic behaviour in the form such that where a person states that they have applied for/or are in receipt of Universal Credit no questions about tenancy, landlord, housing benefit payment are asked for unless the claimant is within an exempt group e.g. Supported Accommodation.
It is also possible, via settings, to request proof of Universal Credit on the evidence page.
The eClaim is capable of and has proven integration to the following widely used back-office EDM applications:
Information@Work / NEC DM
Civica W2/360/Comino
Civica Workflow
IDOX
OpenText
ICLipse
IEG4 OpenProcess
The fast track functionality provided within the eClaim ensures that citizens are provided with the ability to choose to provide all of their evidence prior to submission in order to have their claim processed quicker.
If a citizen does not choose the fast track method they will have their application processed in the standard SLA for that council:
Where the citizen opts into Fast Track, the council is able to let the citizen know how long it will be before it is processed; but this will be significantly quicker than the standard SLA:
The beauty of this functionality being embedded into a digital service is that the council gets all of the evidence it needs to process the claim on day one and the citizen is ensuring their claim is processed much faster than it otherwise would have.
When citizens submit a claim/change using Fast Track, the service is able to dynamically inform the EDMS application:
1. That the application/change is fast track or not
2. Separately identify the specific type of evidence as well as indicate whether it is linked to a fast track claim/change or not
Enabling of Fast Track is done by IEG4 so please contact help.ieg4.com to have this enabled for eClaim or eChanges.
The following settings are also present where a council ALSO has Risk Based Verification:
The eClaim is capable of integrating to the following back-office applications using national benefit schema (which IEG4 is the custodian of) driven APIs:
Capita
Civica
NEC
The integration we have is:
Bi-directional (we pull and push data from and to the back office application)
Secure (we provide you with an , which sits on your council network and provides a secure outbound connection to council's own Microsoft Azure instance)
For eClaim, we search the back office to see if there is an existing claim already held i.e. a cancelled/expired one to prevent duplication.
If one is found the claim reference is appended to the new claim data sent to the back office, which links the two things together.
Plus, the form's PDF and any associated evidence can also be indexed with an existing claim reference.
The integration to the back office, i.e. where the data is posted to is set up by IEG4 staff. Therefore if the URL for your back office application changes, (for Capita integration, this also includes the ABC security credentials), you'll need to raise a ticket for this to be done:
Please use this link to raise any new support calls:
And this link is to access details about previous support calls you have raised: (you may be required to Register as a new user, which is simple and quick to do)
Setting Name
What it does
FastTrackHighRisk
If 'FastTrack' is enabled this setting allows you to provide this option if the claim is high risk by setting it to TRUE.
FastTrackMediumRisk
If 'FastTrack' is enabled this setting allows you to provide this option if the claim is medium risk by setting it to TRUE.
FastTrackLowRisk
If 'FastTrack' is enabled this setting allows you to provide this option if the claim is low risk by setting it to TRUE.
eClaim comes with rich PowerBI enabled reports. The reports available are:
Summary
This report provides a dashboard with:
Numbers or completed forms vs incomplete
% where integration was successful
Forms by gender
By Channel
% breakdown by risk category
Owing to the interrelationships in place within the dashboard, it is possible to filter the dashboard by clicking on segments of the donut charts.
Year-on-year analysis
To enable Benefit managers to measure the transformation of their services and of impacts of legislative changes (such as the introduction of Universal Credit) there is a year-on-year analysis report:
Again, this provides the means to click on a given month and filter the results, as well as see trends on numbers. The data can be viewed in a table and exported to CSV for interpretation in Microsoft Excel etc.
General analysis
The general analysis report enables Benefit managers to see the breakdown of:
Age groups
Session duration i.e. from when they started the form to when they submitted it
The number of pages visited during the completion of the eClaim
The ethnic groups
Geographical analysis
Being able to understand the areas (Council wards) where you are receiving the greatest volumes of claims ensures that relevant councillors are aware and that communications can be targeted most effectively.
Risk analysis summary
With this report Benefit Managers can see, at a glance, how their risk profiling has changed over time.
Risk analysis breakdown
With this set of visuals, the Council is able to see how risk is portrayed across different metrics like age groups, gender, who completed it.
Incomplete Forms analysis
With this report the council is able to see which pages claimants are abandoning the form on. We can see (below) that the overwhelming number of people are only looking at the guidance notes and not proceeding. This illustrates that the bulk of people that started but did not complete it did not actually intend to progress with their claim but provide focus on those that have.
Integration Error analysis
This report allows one to see the numbers by form access method and the specific reasons for failures over time.
Average page duration analysis
This report provides the council with the means to see which pages are taking longest to complete and therefore provide the basis for reviewing the content of these and potentially updating them using the built-in edit mode features of eClaim.
Based upon the circumstances of the citizen, the eClaim will provide the user with the specific items that need to be provided in order to support their application:
The user is able to provide this information online and the form will ‘track’ what has and has not been provided so that, upon submission, the user is told what they still need to provide should anything be outstanding.
So, if a person was told five items were required and they uploaded evidence for four, upon submission the remaining item would be shown as outstanding.
The citizen can then come back and upload these within a set period of time (normally one month) with this information then being passed to the EDMS. You can see below what the user sees upon submission where something remains outstanding.
Note that there is a ‘catch all’ Upload Supporting Documentation option which is there to cater for ad hoc/subsequent evidence uploads because the initial documentation uploaded was unsatisfactory.
The operating system in use, which aids understanding of devices in use e.g. iPhone
Browser in use, which again helps with understanding those in use to understand device types
Who completed the claim - such that an understanding of genuine channel shift can be understood
The different genders (Unknown will be present where gender is optional in your form)
The eClaim already provides a dynamic list of evidence to the citizen but, with RBV enabled, IEG4 can integrate with RBV services to:
• Retrieve a risk score between 1-12
• Assign the risk category Low, Medium and High
• Dynamically reduce the evidence list if the risk is low
• Dynamically insert a risk category specific paragraph to let the citizen know if they can provide
originals and/or scanned/uploaded documents
• Determine whether an upload button should be shown e.g. on High Risk a council can choose to
hide this functionality.
• Add the risk score to the cover page of the eClaim PDF passed to the back-office EDMS
• Add the risk to the XML passed to the back-office processing application
• Dynamically enable/disable fast track based upon the risk score
The risk score can therefore be seen by the back-office staff on the PDF, in the back-office application and within our Forms Portal.
IEG4 is able to integrate to both of the following RBV service providers:
TransUnion
Xantura
The following settings relate to changing evidence behaviour:
Setting Name
Details
EvidenceUpload
If TRUE this setting will allow customers to upload evidence as a part of the claim form prior to submission.
AfterActionEvidenceUpload
If TRUE this setting will allow customers to upload evidence as a part of the claim form after submission. This setting will also ensure that evident uploaded pre-submission is tracked and the customer told what's missing when they submit their claim.
CatchAllEvidenceUpload
If TRUE this setting will allow customers to upload evidence adhoc that is not in the list of evidence requested. This is mainly for customers uploading evidence of the same type as previously submitted after submission.
The following settings control types of evidence uploaded:
Setting Name
Details
UploadWhiteList
This is a setting for the Upload of evidence in forms. This controls the types of files that are permitted. This list would normally only be used if a specific type of file is allowed, as the black list is present below to prevent any disallowed file types. File types are added using their extension and multiple types can be added by separating them with a comma. For example if only MS Word documents were allowed you could add the following: doc,docx
UploadBlackList
The black list is the list of files which are NOT allowed to be uploaded. This allows specific file types known to be commonly used for viruses to be listed
UploadSizeLimit
This allows one to specify the maximum size of any single file in bytes. I.e. 10000 is roughly 10MB
Because evidence presented in the form is dynamic to a person's household, income etc. it is possible to configure when certain evidence requirements are asked for.
This is set up within the Form Configuration File - evidence.xml. Details at the following link:
In January of this year seven benefit assessors across three separate London councils took advantage of their roles to commit over £1m in benefit fraud.
Using false identity documents and bank accounts they had access to, they took advantage of the roles they had to achieve staggering levels of fraud and extrapolate funds from the public purse when it can least afford it. This being reported just one year after a similar fraud happening across London in Harrow
Cases like these are the reason why benefit applications have laborious verification processes in place that actually slow the administration process down for everyone. In 2011, Risk Based Verification (RBV) became mainstream with the publication of the S11 Circular. RBV recognises that there are specific combinations of variables on claims that means some claims do not need the full amount of evidence the old school Verification Framework suggested. In fact 55%+ of claims actually fall into the low risk category meaning only proof of ID is required. This led to IEG4 building RBV integration into both its and (for Housing Benefit / Council Tax Support) products.
However, to get to the pinnacle of evidence verification we considered how we could automate this even further. This led us to realise that if we could:
Confirm Identity in real time
Validate the bank account details a person provides are not just valid but that they relate to that person claiming
We could remove all evidence requirements from those in the low risk category and simultaneously prevent the types of fraud happening in the two articles previously. Working with the London Borough of Lambeth and , IEG4 has integrated its online benefit claim service with to achieve precisely this.
Now when a benefit claimant makes an application their identity is checked in real time and evidence required dynamically updated. If they have indicated they want the money paid to themselves and the bank details they have provided do not relate to them, it will actually prevent submission. By leveraging real time web service calls powered by smart credit reference agency functions, we have ensured fraud is removed is prevented intelligently and the many get their applications processed quicker.
Like with the introduction of Risk Based Verification, IEG4 is the first online service provider to integrate to CallValidate into an online form. This release covers the introduction of this functionality into the eClaim (for Housing Benefit/Council Tax Support/Discount).
The bulk of the functionality provided in this additional (necessarily chargeable) module is under the hood but at the highest level the functionality is:
The ability to send details of both the claimant AND a partner if there is one to the CallValidate service in real time to:
confirm the claimant/partner's identity
confirm the bank account they have provided is valid and relates to them
This is a visual and clear addition that does not exist without this functionality. So if a person provides spurious data for the bank account they wish the benefit to be paid to i.e. incorrect and importantly not their bank account they will be presented with the following in the nav menu:
And this at the foot of the the actual 'Paying Benefit' page:
4) The ability to surface the details of the checks done/outcomes on the PDF officers see in document management
This is probably the most visual element of this functionality in that it illustrates the outcome of the checks. There are three high level categories of response and these are that:
a) the identity was confirmed. SeeIdentity Result - Yes
This is the high level information returned from the CallValidate check. The details shown on the PDF can be customised by you and can show any of the data provided in the XML response (see point 6) from TransUnion.
b) The identity was confirmed with warnings. See Identity Result -YesWarningPresent
Here we can see there is a warning in that whilst the identity has been matched against 5 separate DOB checks for that address, there is a doubt on the length of time they've been resident.
A warning is for information it can still mean ID is not required.
c) The identity was not confirmed. See Identity Result - Refer
Refer essentially means that the person's identity was not confirmed and an officer requires to check this:
5) The ability to surface the details of the checks done/outcomes in the back office application's claim notes for officers to refer to. This passes similar content to that on the PDF to the claim notes for the claim that gets created in Capita/Civica/Northgate Benefit systems.
6) The ability to view the response returned from in XML format for diagnosis purposes
This is accessed from the Forms Portal, as shown below:
The following settings, which will all be set by IEG4 control the ability to integrate to CallValidate. This is more for information that CVEnabled obviously needs to be true and each needs to have a value. The values in each setting other than CVEnabled will be different for test and live.
The following are the settings in eClaim specific to Risk Based Verification:
RbvEnabled
If true Risk Based Verification will be enabled.
RbvSource
This will be either Coactiva (TransUnion RBV) or Xantura (Xantura RBV) which are the two different RBV suppliers.
RbvSourceUrl
This will be the URL for the specific RBV service. This will be different between test and live.
RbvSourceCertificate
This will contain an encrypted version of the security certificate that allows communication between the eClaim and the RBV service.
RbvSourceCertificatePassword
In order that the final three settings work - clearly you need to ensure the EvidenceUpload functionality is enabled. I.e. these settings assume EvidenceUpload is set to true.
Configuration files are files that can augment / improve the control you have over the functionality in the form beyond the settings.
Configuration files are generally in XML format and so please ensure the XML file is still valid are you finish your edits. You can check an XML file is valid using the following:
For the eClaim, there are 7 and these files are covered below:
The purpose of this file is to enable one to control, which evidence is presented dynamically to the citizen when NO Risk Based Verification service is enabled. I.e. This is the default configuration file.
Note - this file is bigger than this - we've taken an excerpt.
Basically this file enables you to control when each of the different evidence paragraphs appear in the eClaim based upon the person's circumstances provided.
For example, there is an evidence resource called Rule_Identity.
And within that section there is a Rules section that outlines the rules
The rule is saying if there is a surname present for the claimant, which there always will be, ask for proof of identity.
This is an important file in the context of eClaim. The contents of it control:
a) What appears in this list:
b) The behaviour of the option selected
The file contains a section for each drop down option. The following shows the file with only the first drop down option populates for simplicity of understanding:
The following elements are responsible for different behaviours:
Enables you to change the rates of:
DLA Care
DLA Mobility
PIP Daily Living
PIP Mobility
As and when they change annually.
Please remember to update these before each April.
This file also has the ability, should it ever change, to update the number of hours that are taken into account before a Non-Dependant Deduction is taken.
This file is specific to Local Council Tax Support.
It enables a council to set a list of different circumstances that should be exempt from the local council tax support scheme in the same way pensioners are.
The following illustrates an example file with four different vulnerability options:
Simply remove any items or edit the above file if you want to change the default options. These four options end up showing as follows:
You can add additional options by simply adding another section like the following below the above:
This file enables councils using the CallValidate functionality to present a warning to staff based upon the responses back from the TransUnion CallValidate API call.
There are the following types that can be presented as warnings:
AddressPickListWarning
BankAccountClosedWarning
CardAccountClosedWarning
NamePickListWarning
You can choose to make them active or not in this file.
The evidencerulescoactiva.xml file controls the evidence paragraphs presented to customers, like the evidencerules.xml file but with additional behaviours to dynamically reflect Risk Score.
The file is largely the same as the evidencerules.xml file but at the top it has a dedicated section that enables the evidence requested to be set for each risk score.
For example - the following shows the different paragraphs that are applicable where the risk score is 1:
The section after that then covers the rules on which evidence to show from the eligible paragraphs set above. I.e. What are the person's circumstances establishes the evidence blocks applicable. A further check is then done against the risk score rules to see if that evidence block should be shown. So a person would be asked for proof of earnings if their risk score was 1 because this is present in the risk rule for 1:
But it wouldn't be shown where the risk score was 12 because the paragraph for Rule_Earnings does not exist in this risk group:
This file is identical to the evidencerulescoactiva.xml one, except that:
a) It is where the Xantura RBV service is in use
b) It has a risk score range of 1-15 rather than 1-12
Configuration files are files that can augment / improve the control you have over the functionality in the form beyond the settings.
Configuration files are generally in XML format and so please ensure the XML file is still valid are you finish your edits. You can check an XML file is valid using the following:
For the RBV, there are 2 and these files relate to the two RBV providers. TransUnion (formerly Coactiva) and Xantura.
The evidencerulescoactiva.xml file controls the evidence paragraphs presented to customers, like the evidencerules.xml file but with additional behaviours to dynamically reflect Risk Score.

This will be the council's LASER code (used for DWP etc.)
LowRiskShowUpload
Where Evidence Uploads are permitted this setting, if TRUE will mean low risk claims can upload evidence.
MediumRiskShowUpload
Where Evidence Uploads are permitted this setting, if TRUE will mean medium risk claims can upload evidence.
HighRiskShowUpload
Where Evidence Uploads are permitted this setting, if TRUE will mean high risk claims can upload evidence.
There are a couple of additional, optional modules that can be provided with eClaim:
Risk Based Verification
CallValidate - ID and Bank Account Verification
Details of these is found next.
The eClaim comes with a benefit calculator, which is able to act as a standalone function or as a precursor to an application. I.e. it can be optional if the council wishes it to be so. The calculator is able to work out whether a person would be eligible to receive:
Housing Benefit AND / OR:
Council Tax Support (LCTS) / Council Tax Discount (banded scheme) (LCTD)
There is a huge amount of flexibility in how the calculation for LCTS/LCTD is worked out and unlike ‘standard’ calculators available online, this calculator is designed to calculate LCTS and LCTD precisely in line with your scheme. It has built-in intelligence around:
Universal Credit to only calculate LCTS unless a person lives in exempt accommodation
Pension equalisation rules to ensure the appropriate applicable amounts are calculated in real-time
Social Sector Size criteria (Bedroom Tax) to ensure the appropriate 14/25% reductions are made
Upon completion of the calculator the citizen is provided with a breakdown of their potential eligibility and three options on what to do next.
Namely:
Start an online application using the data already provided
Do another calculation using the details already provided (i.e. to cater for 'what if' scenarios)
Do a new calculation starting from scratch
Citizens can report that they, their partner or non-dependent are now in receipt of Universal Credit and, where relevant, the user is presented with a page designed in the exact layout of the UC Award letter.
Like the eClaim, this page captures all of the details of the person's UC award. This means that the officer can make a better-informed decision on assessment.

If true it will ask for a breakdown of the rooms in the property.
propertyMiscDetailRequired
If true it will for ask about whether the landlord is a former partner etc.
rentServiceDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details of service charges that are part of their rent.
rentReferenceNumberRequired
If true it will ask for their rent account/reference number. Used for Council Tenants/Housing Association claimants.
UCBehaviour
We have made it possible for a council to set any living situation type to be able to exempt from the normal UC behaviour or not. Thereby future proofing the software by having the means to add / change this adhoc for any living situation the customer may choose. In order to make a living situation behave like supporting people did previously the following tag needs to be added to the living situation section for that type:
<UCBehaviour>true</UCBehaviour>
NonGBRCardWarning
PAFNonValidWarning
PrepayWarning
Element
What does it do
applyForHB
If true this will set the ApplyForHB marker in the XML we send in the XML to the back office telling it the person is applying for Housing Benefit. A home owner will not claim Housing Benefit and thus it is set to false.
householdType
This is the value (from a set list in the benefit schema) that will be passed for this option. I.e. Home owner is OwnerOccupier, a Private Landlord is simply Private.
paymentType
This is the only option that two attributes. The first is requireLandlordAccount. If set to true it will ask for the landlord's bank account details. The second is requireClaimantAccount. If set to true it will ask for the claimant's bank account details. Hence both are false in the home owner situation.
landlordDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details of who their landlord is.
propertyDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details like whether the property is detached/furnished etc.
propertyRoomDetailRequired
The following lists all of the settings in the eClaim form and what they do.
Name
Description
SourceId
This setting tells the back office the source of the claim and should be IEG4
SourceIdMode
This setting has three modes and is used for the NEC back office. It means that you can control what is shown in External Items for claims. Option 1 - SourceIdMode of “eFormReference” = means the IEG4 form reference will be sent to NEC as the Source Option 2 - SourceIdMode of “ClaimantName” = means the claimant's name will be sent to NEC as the Source Option 3 - SourceIdMode of “Composite” = means that the form ref and claimant name will be sent to NEC as the Source
SourceUserId
This should be set to IEG4User
UserId
The following are the settings that can/should be changed by users to suit their requirements:
Name
Description
LowestCTBand
This will default to A and should not be changed.
HighestCTBand
This will default to H and exists because in Wales the number of Council Tax Bands is higher and the highest band is I.
EnableTransferToClaimAfterCalc
If TRUE the Calculator will allow applicants to prepopulate a claim with the information they already provided when completing the calculator.
ShowCTAmountsAlongsideBand
Based upon the circumstances the claimant is reporting a change about, the eChanges form will dynamically tailor the evidence requested to complement the changes. The user is able to provide this information online and the form will ‘track’ what has and has not been provided so that, upon submission, the user is told what they still need to provide if anything is outstanding.
So, if a person was told five items were required and they uploaded evidence for four, upon submission the remaining item would be shown as outstanding. The citizen can then come back and upload these within a month with this information then being passed to the EDMS.
The following settings relate to changing evidence behaviour:
The following settings control types of evidence uploaded:
Because evidence presented in the form is dynamic to a person's household, income etc. it is possible to configure when certain evidence requirements are asked for.
This is set up within the Form Configuration File - evidence.xml. Details at the following link:
IEG4’s eChanges service was designed in 2012 and still provides an unrivalled user experience for citizens wishing to report a change in circumstances to their benefit claim. Unparalleled in terms of its functionality, the eChanges solution:
Authenticates the citizen with the back-office application in real-time based upon their:
Name
Date of Birth
National Insurance Number
Post Code
Retrieves their claim information
Personalises the questions asked the citizen is asked about based upon the details held in the back-office system at that specific moment in time:
Pushes the details of the change(s) directly into Capita, Civica, Northgate systems and all major document management solutions.
In terms of some examples of personalisation, the eChanges form will dynamically:
not ask a claimant ‘Have you had a change in rent’ where no housing benefit is present on the claim
ask “Do you still work for ASDA?” where the employment information in the back-office shows they currently work for ASDA
list the household members present on the claim where someone is being moved out
show rent service charges where these are included in the calculation of their rent
The following are the change types catered for:
Change of address
Changes in household
Changes in income
Changes in capital
In essence, the eChanges form only asks questions contextual to the citizen's circumstances which means the form is inherently shorter and error is minimised - because they cannot report a change that is out-with their circumstances.
Configuration files are files that can augment / improve the control you have over the functionality in the form beyond the settings.

The eChanges form already provides a dynamic list of evidence to the citizen but, with RBV enabled, IEG4 can integrate with RBV services to:
• Retrieve a risk score between 1-12
• Assign the risk category Low, Medium and High
• Dynamically reduce the evidence list if the risk is low
• Dynamically insert a risk category specific paragraph to let the citizen know if they can provide
originals and/or scanned/uploaded documents
• Determine whether an upload button should be shown e.g. on High Risk a council can choose to
hide this functionality.
• Add the risk score to the cover page of the eChanges PDF passed to the back-office EDMS
The eChanges form is capable of integrating to the following back-office applications using national benefit schema (which IEG4 is the custodian of) driven APIs:

In August 2020, the DWP issued Housing Benefit Circular A9 2020, which is a special ‘bulletin’ to councils notifying them of a change to policy or process. This specific circular sets out the details of a Housing Benefit Award Accuracy (HBAA) Initiative and the funding LAs will receive to undertake activities to identify unreported changes of circumstances. The funding, from the DWP, is designed to support LAs undertaking specific activities to proactively identify unreported changes and make sure that the right amount of benefit is paid to the right person at the right time. This funding is awarded for councils carrying our Full Case Reviews (FCR).
A FCR requires a council to consider and look at all the current claim details and evidence associated with the claim, as well as any other fresher information or evidence they can source, in order for the weekly HB amount to be reviewed. The key elements are that:
the Council reviews and validates whether the current information associated with the claim remains correct

• Dynamically enable/disable fast track based upon the risk score
The risk score can therefore be seen by the back-office staff on the PDF, in the back-office
application and within our Forms Portal.
TransUnion are also able to carry out a Credit Reference Agency search on different risk categories
which can be presented to users of IEG4’s software.
IEG4 is able to integrate to both of the following RBV service providers:
TransUnion
Xantura
Bi-directional (we pull and push data from and to the back office application)
Secure (we provide you with an Azure Service Bus, which sits on your council network and provides a secure outbound connection to council's own Microsoft Azure instance)
For eChanges, we search the back office to see if there is an existing claim already held and as long as it is live we also retrieve all of the details of the claim to provide a personalised form to complete.
As finding an existing claim is a prerequisite to proceeding to completion in the eChanges form the data sent is always linked to the appropriate claim upon submission.
Plus, the form's PDF and any associated evidence will also be indexed with the existing claim reference authenticated against.
To change the URL for pulling data out of the back office find the following setting in Form (System) Management for the form and update it to the new URL:
BackOfficeUrl
The integration to the back office for where the data is posted to is set up by IEG4 staff. Therefore if the URL for your back office application changes, (for Capita integration, this also includes the ABC security credentials), you'll need to raise a ticket for this to be done:
Please use this link to raise any new support calls: https://insights.ieg4.com/submit-a-request
And this link is to access details about previous support calls you have raised: https://support.ieg4.com/tickets-view (you may be required to Register as a new user, which is simple and quick to do)
the Council seeks evidence from the claimant where it is possible to do so, in accordance with their review processes
All of this in order to identify any changes of circumstances and recalculate a claimant’s HB award accordingly.
In line with this, IEG4 has built a new form that leverages multiple elements from the eChanges form, which enables a citizen to:
review all of the detail currently held on their claim about them
proactively identify areas that have AND have NOT changed
This should be set to the system admin user within Capita = aisdba For Capita / Civica it doesn't matter what this is

Details of any changes reported in the Full Case Review will be passed in real-time to your back-office benefit processing system.
Benefit rules mean that the effective date of a change is one of the most important values passed to the back-office application. In practice this means dealing with multiple changes. This can be complex for a user as they are required to ensure that the changes are placed in chronological order prior to being processed.
As you wouldn’t want to mandate to the citizen that they provide things chronologically rather than by type, the eChanges form handles all of the logic to derive the correct order for changes to be passed to and updated in the back-office. For example, a citizen reports:
Partner moved in on 21/11/2017
New earnings from 01/11/2017
A change in rent from 01/09/2017
The change in circumstances form will extrapolate out what needs to happen and will push XMLs to the back-office as follows: XML 1 01/09/2017 Change in rent
XML2 01/11/2017 Change in rent & New earnings
XML3 21/11/2017 Change in rent, New earnings & New partner
This intelligence ensures that the back-office benefit periods are updated in the exact same manner they would have been updated were the changes done manually.

Key to automating decisions is a high level of integration. The next set of articles will cover the various integrations that make 100% automation possible.
This is an important file in the context of the Calculator. The contents of it control:
a) What appears in this list:
b) The behaviour of the option selected
The file contains a section for each drop down option. The following shows the file with only the first drop down option populates for simplicity of understanding:
The following elements are responsible for different behaviours:
Element
What does it do
applyForHB
If true this will set the ApplyForHB marker in the XML we send in the XML to the back office telling it the person is applying for Housing Benefit. A home owner will not claim Housing Benefit and thus it is set to false.
householdType
This is the value (from a set list in the benefit schema) that will be passed for this option. I.e. Home owner is OwnerOccupier, a Private Landlord is simply Private.
paymentType
This is the only option that two attributes. The first is requireLandlordAccount. If set to true it will ask for the landlord's bank account details. The second is requireClaimantAccount. If set to true it will ask for the claimant's bank account details. Hence both are false in the home owner situation.
landlordDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details of who their landlord is.
propertyDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details like whether the property is detached/furnished etc.
These two files are generally copies of one another BUT can be very different depending upon your local council tax support/discount scheme.
ratesandvaluesprelcts.xml is used for:
Housing Benefit
Pensioners for LCTS
Vulnerable groups for LCTS if you support them
ratesandvalueslcts.xml is used for:
LCTS/LCTD for working age people only
For LCTS file controls the settings specific to the LCTS scheme being implemented.
The commonly updated values from this file are:
<BandCap>
This controls the maximum band up to which LCTS can be paid e.g C would be entered to limit it to Band C.
<BandCapAnnualAmount>
This is linked to the first item and is the maximum amount for the band that it is to be capped at.
<MaximumLiabilityPercentage>
This is the maximum liability at which a person can get help even if they are passported. I.e. even on JSAIB they would not receive full help if the maximum liability percentage is set to an amount lower than 100.
Council Tax Bands
i.e. <BandA> to <BandH>
Simply a case of adding your current year amounts.
Example
The following illustrates this section of the file when populated for a site with a band cap of band C, a capped amount of 1300, a maximum liability percentage of 75% and various bands:
Each year when the rates change you will need to update the Personal Allowances / Premiums / Non Dependant Deductions etc.
Personal Allowances are catered for in the General Details Data section:
E.g. the following is the first of the allowances for people between 16 and 24 from April 2017:
<PersonalAllowanceSingle16To24>57.90</PersonalAllowanceSingle16To24>
The only thing you need to do is update the amounts inside the XML tags.
Likewise, premiums can be found in these sections:
<ChildrenAndYoungAdultsData>
<CapabilityData>
The Non Dependant Deduction levels can be found within the Other Adults Data section:
The calculator’s settings for OtherAdults data allow you to change the options you show.
The following is an example of there being 4 different bands of Non Dependant deduction specific to Council Tax:
If we wanted to change this to be 6 bands with different thresholds from these we would replace the above section with:
Also there are further settings that cater for passported incomes and this is how these are updated:
<CTBOtherNonDependantDeductionJSA>0</CTBOtherNonDependantDeductionJSA>
<CTBOtherNonDependantDeductionMostOthers>3.65</CTBOtherNonDependantDeductionMostOthers>
Other options which are generally changed are:
These can be found in the Earned Income Data section e.g:
<EarnedIncomeData>
<SingleStandardDisregard>
Some local authorities have increased the amounts of these to reflect the incentive for people to work.
Family Premiums are no longer included in HB Calculations however some councils do keep them in their LCTS scheme. For these to be excluded the value should be set to 0.00 per below:
<FamilyPremiumNormalRate>0.00</FamilyPremiumNormalRate>
<FamilyPremiumProtectedNormalRate>0.00</FamilyPremiumProtectedNormalRate>
i.e. <CapitalDisregardAmountBand1> and <TotalAssetsLimit>
The first option provides the means to reduce the threshold at which tariff income comes into place from 6,000 to a lower value.
The second Total Assets Limit allows a site to reduce the maximum Capital threshold from 16,000 to a lower amount.
An example of this is shown here where the threshold for tariff income is reduced to 1000 and the maximum capital limit is reduced to 6000:
<CapitalDisregardAmountBand1>1000</CapitalDisregardAmountBand1>
<CapitalDisregardAmountBand2>10000</CapitalDisregardAmountBand2>
<SharesAndPropertyToWeeklyAmountPensionableAgeDivisor>500</SharesAndPropertyToWeeklyAmountPensionableAgeDivisor>
<SharesAndPropertyToWeeklyAmountNormalDivisor>250</SharesAndPropertyToWeeklyAmountNormalDivisor>
<TotalAssetsLimit>6000</TotalAssetsLimit>
Enables you to change the rates of:
DLA Care
DLA Mobility
PIP Daily Living
PIP Mobility
As and when they change annually.
Please remember to update these before each April.
This file also has the ability, should it ever change, to update the number of hours that are taken into account before a Non-Dependant Deduction is taken.
This file is specific to Local Council Tax Support.
It enables a council to set a list of different circumstances that should be exempt from the local council tax support scheme in the same way pensioners are.
The following illustrates an example file with four different vulnerability options:
Simply remove any items or edit the above file if you want to change the default options. You can add additional options by simply adding another section like the following below the above:
The purpose of this file is to enable one to control, which evidence is presented dynamically to the citizen when NO Risk Based Verification service is enabled. I.e. This is the default configuration file.
Note - this file is bigger than this - we've taken an excerpt.
Basically this file enables you to control when each of the different evidence paragraphs appear in the eChanges based upon the person's changes provided.
For example, there is an evidence resource called Rule_NewPartnerIdentity.
And within that section there is a Rules section that outlines the rules that set whether evidence is requested or not:
The rule above is saying if there if on the page PartnerMovedIn the person says Yes to one moving in, evidence of their identity will be requested.
This is an important file in the context of eChanges. The contents of it control:
a) What appears in the list of living situations for the new address a person is moving to i.e. when the change reported is a change of address
b) The behaviour of the option selected
The file contains a section for each drop down option. The following shows the file with only the first drop down option populates for simplicity of understanding:
The following elements are responsible for different behaviours:
Element
What does it do
applyForHB
If true this will set the ApplyForHB marker in the XML we send in the XML to the back office telling it the person is applying for Housing Benefit. A home owner will not claim Housing Benefit and thus it is set to false.
householdType
This is the value (from a set list in the benefit schema) that will be passed for this option. I.e. Home owner is OwnerOccupier, a Private Landlord is simply Private.
paymentType
This is the only option that two attributes. The first is requireLandlordAccount. If set to true it will ask for the landlord's bank account details. The second is requireClaimantAccount. If set to true it will ask for the claimant's bank account details. Hence both are false in the home owner situation.
landlordDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details of who their landlord is.
propertyDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details like whether the property is detached/furnished etc.
For the RBV, there are 2 and these files relate to the two RBV providers. TransUnion (formerly Coactiva) and Xantura.
The evidencerulescoactiva.xml file controls the evidence paragraphs presented to customers, like the evidencerules.xml file but with additional behaviours to dynamically reflect Risk Score.
The file is largely the same as the evidencerules.xml file but at the top it has a dedicated section that enables the evidence requested to be set for each risk score.
For example - the following shows the different paragraphs that are applicable where the risk score is 1:
The section after that then covers the rules on which evidence to show from the eligible paragraphs set above. I.e. What are the person's circumstances establishes the evidence blocks applicable. A further check is then done against the risk score rules to see if that evidence block should be shown. So a person would be asked for proof of a change in capital if their risk score was 1 because this is present in the risk rule for 1:
But it wouldn't be shown where the risk score was 12 because the paragraph for Rule_Earnings does not exist in this risk group:
This file is identical to the evidencerulescoactiva.xml one, except that:
a) It is where the Xantura RBV service is in use
b) It has a risk score range of 1-15 rather than 1-12
The eChanges form is capable of integrating to the following back-office applications using national benefit schema (which IEG4 is the custodian of) driven APIs:
Capita
Civica
NEC
The integration we have is:
Bi-directional (we pull and push data from and to the back office application)
Secure (we provide you with an , which sits on your council network and provides a secure outbound connection to council's own Microsoft Azure instance)
For HBAA, we search the back office to see if there is an existing claim already held and as long as it is live we also retrieve all of the details of the claim to provide a personalised form to complete.
As finding an existing claim is a prerequisite to proceeding to completion in the HBAA form the data sent is always linked to the appropriate claim upon submission.
Plus, the form's PDF and any associated evidence will also be indexed with the existing claim reference authenticated against.
To change the URL for pulling data out of the back office find the following setting in Form (System) Management for the form and update it to the new URL:
BackOfficeUrl
The integration to the back office for where the data is posted to is set up by IEG4 staff. Therefore if the URL for your back office application changes, (for Capita integration, this also includes the ABC security credentials), you'll need to raise a ticket for this to be done:
Please use this link to raise any new support calls:
And this link is to access details about previous support calls you have raised: (you may be required to Register as a new user, which is simple and quick to do)
Configuration files are files that can augment / improve the control you have over the functionality in the form beyond the settings.
Configuration files are generally in XML format and so please ensure the XML file is still valid are you finish your edits. You can check an XML file is valid using the following:

b) It has a risk score range of 1-15 rather than 1-12
The following are the settings in eChanges specific to Risk Based Verification:
RbvEnabled
If true Risk Based Verification will be enabled.
RbvSource
This will be either Coactiva (TransUnion RBV) or Xantura (Xantura RBV) which are the two different RBV suppliers.
RbvSourceUrl
This will be the URL for the specific RBV service. This will be different between test and live.
RbvSourceCertificate
This will contain an encrypted version of the security certificate that allows communication between the eClaim and the RBV service.
RbvSourceCertificatePassword
In order that the final three settings work - clearly you need to ensure the EvidenceUpload functionality is enabled. I.e. these settings assume EvidenceUpload is set to true.
Configuration files are files that can augment / improve the control you have over the functionality in the form beyond the settings.
Configuration files are generally in XML format and so please ensure the XML file is still valid are you finish your edits. You can check an XML file is valid using the following:

The eChanges is capable of and has proven integration to the following widely used back-office EDM applications:
Information@Work/NEC DM
Civica W2/360/Comino
Civica Workflow
Free School Meals are provided to eligible children throughout school term time.
But, as a result of efforts from those in the public eye, such as Marcus Rashford, there has been pressure on the government to make such meals available to these same children out of term time too.
Responding to this many forward thinking councils, like Trafford MBC, now have this in place. Forward thinking because the benefits to children of nutritious meals on their overall long term outcomes are well understood.
IEG4 has developed a powerful, end to end online form and workflow solution that, as a result of powerful integration can enable 100% automation levels of such applications.
Self-employed claims are notoriously difficult to administer owing to the way benefit is calculated i.e. on weekly income and the very nature of self-employed people that is the fact they can have highly changeable income. Reflective of this, we have a self employed function that can work standalone or as an inbuilt self-employed function, for eClaim and eChanges.
The form is able to:
capture details about the business
calculate a person’s earnings based upon many different categories of income in different payment frequencies
Based upon the circumstances the claimant is reporting a change about, the eChanges form will dynamically tailor the evidence requested to complement the changes. The user is able to provide this information online and the form will ‘track’ what has and has not been provided so that, upon submission, the user is told what they still need to provide if anything is outstanding.
So, if a person was told five items were required and they uploaded evidence for four, upon submission the remaining item would be shown as outstanding. The citizen can then come back and upload these within a month with this information then being passed to the EDMS.
The following settings relate to changing evidence behaviour:
The following are the settings specific to the Self Employed form:
There is full integration with the Ordnance Survey's Places API for the applicant to find their address. They simply need to enter a postcode to locate their street and then select from the list provided:
Plus, in order to ensure that applications that are made relate only to properties within the boundary of the council, there is the ability to limit the search results to that of your council.
Whilst we would recommend the use of only BACS to maximise automation, it is possible to also support the issue of vouchers.
Where you don't mandate bank account provision within the form, the customer can then be issued with vouchers. However, you need to be mindful that this means you will be manually recording details of:
a) A URL for the voucher
b) Details of how they can get the voucher if not a URL
OpenProcess is IEG4's powerful workflow and case management solution, which you can read more about below:
In the context of Free School Meal Holiday Payments, there is two way integration with OpenProcess.
Because the online form:
Searches (reads) for a previous award for the claimant's NINO and the UPRN of the property
Pushes (writes) the details of the application into OpenProcess to enable the bank details to be used in the creation of the BACS file
The following lists all of the settings in the HBAA - Full Case Review form and what they do.
When the online application is received a notification is automatically generated to the citizen.
The content of which is able to be edited with the following being an example template:
To ensure that a person always provides valid details, we have a real time bank verification service set up on this form.
When they provide bank details we:
a) Ensure the bank details and sort code are of a valid format
b) Speak to the bank verification service provided by Loqate:
To ensure they are valid bank account details and you have piece of mind that payments will not be paid to spurious accounts.
For customers subscribed to Digital Benefits via GCloud XII, the following forms are also freely available:
• Landlord/ Letting agent/ managing agent change of circumstances
• Change bank details for payments
• Overpayments - Make a payment arrangement
• Backdated Benefit Application
• Benefits - Two Homes Payments
• Benefits - Send us evidence
• Benefits - Appeal
• Benefits - Direct payment to landlord
• Benefits - Apply for HB or CTB where one already in payment
If a person fails the DfE Free School Meal Check, a check is then done on whether they're entitled to Local Council Tax Support.
This checks for an active claim in your back office application. As it uses the 'National Benefit Schemas' all back office benefit applications are supported and the functionality works the same for Capita, Civica and Northgate.
If the outcome of both the DfE Free School Meal Eligibility Check and the Benefit Check results in there being no eligibility a message like so will be presented.
Configuration files are files that can augment / improve the control you have over the functionality in the form beyond the settings.
Configuration files are generally in XML format and so please ensure the XML file is still valid are you finish your edits. You can check an XML file is valid using the following:
For the Self Employed function, there are 4 and these files are covered below:
The result of all of the applications is a need to be able to pay citizens.
As a part of your implementation you'll be provided with an application that you will simply need to provide it with:
From Date
To Date
And this will output a BACS file like below:
The Council Tax Direct Debit service is designed to capture information to enable the creation of a new Direct Debit based instalment plan on a council tax account.
General Functionality
The form has the following high-level key functions:

UCBehaviour
We have made it possible for a council to set any living situation type to be able to exempt from the normal UC behaviour or not. Thereby future proofing the software by having the means to add / change this adhoc for any living situation the customer may choose. In order to make a living situation behave like supporting people did previously the following tag needs to be added to the living situation section for that type:
<UCBehaviour>true</UCBehaviour>
This is the password for the digital security certificate
RbvAdvisorLocalAuthorityCode
This will be the council's LASER code (used for DWP etc.)
LowRiskShowUpload
Where Evidence Uploads are permitted this setting, if TRUE will mean low risk claims can upload evidence.

Once a form is submitted it kicks off a dedicated workflow in IEG4’s RPO engine OpenProcess. In terms of back-office updates*, the moves form will depending upon the circumstance:
Terminate a current account
Transfer a person or people from an old account to a new account
Update the forwarding address on the account ended
Perform the equivalent of a ‘Target Move' when moving within the area
Check for the presence of a pre-existing discount on the account
End an existing account where an empty property discount requires to be set
Set an empty and unfurnished discount for a date range when moving out of a property
Set an empty and unfurnished discount for a date range when moving into a property
Set an empty and furnished discount for a date range when moving out of a property
Set an empty and furnished discount for a date range when moving into a property
Set a single person discount for a date range when moving out of a property if one person moves out before another for a period of time before all move out
Set a single person discount for a date range when moving into a property if only one person is resident for a period of time or indefinitely if no one is moving in later
Search for new people being added to the account (Move In/Move Within only)
Checks if a person newly added already exists in the council tax system
Create a new person or people where someone/some people has/have moved into the new address (Move In/Move Within only)
Find and make liable the current responsible party where a tenant moving out has not said who their landlord is. (Move Out/Move Within only)
Set the appropriate empty property discount when the landlord is made liable
Transfers any credit due from one account to another
Sets up a Direct Debit Payment Method and Instalment Plan if a new account created
Calculates the bill for the account closed
Calculates the bill for an account opened
Generates the bill for account closed
Generates the bill for an account opened
Adds any contact details for phone numbers to the party completing the form
Adds any email address provided to the party completing the form
Adds the forwarding address for parties moving away
Adds a notepad entry to each account affected (up to four separate accounts on move within with notes contextual to each) to explain the updates made e.g.
“Council tax account 20000506618 has liable party with surname McMahon Account 20000506618 terminated on 2020-02-20 and new account 2000119412 created
Person ‘Claire McMahon' added as a new person. Reference: 708369 Person 708369 added as a liable party to account 2000119412 from 2020-02-21”
The power of the IEG4 solution and reason for the high automation levels its customers achieve are in the real-time checks that are built in. These are designed to prevent exceptions and forms being submitted in circumstances where you would not want this to happen.
Prior to submission the Direct Debit form will:
check if the council tax account number entered and the surname/organisation name of the account holder match
retrieve the current recovery stage for the financial year and:
a) compare it with a set of recovery stages where direct debits are not permitted
b) for each recovery stage where it is not permitted it will show a custom, user-defined message/ call to action. E.g. if the account is with an enforcement agent, it could provide their details and how to get in touch with them.
3. check whether the citizen has a history of not paying direct debits once they’ve been set up and where this happens a custom, user-defined message/call to action is presented that informs the citizen of what to do next
4. check for a marker added during this financial year that indicates a citizen has made an arrangement and can bypass checks 3 and 4
5. check in real-time, using the industry-leading online bank verification service from Loqate (GBG Group) that the bank account details are valid prior to form submission. If they are invalid, the citizen is told to check and try again. If they are valid, the details of their bank are retrieved and automatically populated into the Direct Debit Mandate page.
Where OpenProcess is not used as your document management system, the online form is capable of:
Saving the PDF to a file location
Automatically indexing the form document into the document management system based upon the account number and whether the process is fully automated or not.
We can provide integration to the following widely used back-office EDM applications:

IEG4 OpenProcess
With online forms for Council Tax comprising a huge proportion of the work councils receive, IEG4’s Council Tax forms have been designed with ease of completion, intuitiveness and automation in mind.
Revenues Process Orchestration (RPO)* is the engine that powers the integration with back-office applications and the functionality it provides ensures the councils using these services are consistently achieving 90% to 100% automation levels without any human involvement.
*RPO and thus integration to the back-office is currently only available for Northgate and Capita back-office Council Tax applications.
Once a form is submitted, it kicks off a dedicated workflow in IEG4’s RPO engine OpenProcess.
But generally the form:
Sets up the actual Direct Debit Payment Method and Instalment Plan
Adds any contact details for email/phone number to the party completing the form
Adds a notepad entry to explain the updates made E.g.
"Council tax account 12345034 has liable party with surname McMahon Account is active
No notes found to indicate bounced Direct Debits on account 20000527654 for current financial year
Direct debit setup on account 12345034
Contact details updated for person reference 983474"
Enabling citizens to apply for, or end their, Single Person Discount online ensures that you can meet the digital demands of those applying and maximise the likelihood of getting the information from citizens wanting to tell you about someone moving in.
Single Person Discounts can involve ending council tax accounts, transferring people, credits, and even changes in circumstances where Benefits are involved.
The purpose of the form is to enable citizens to provide details of who they are, where they live, their council tax account information and primarily to apply for or cancel a single person discount.
The form supports one cancellation reason and three reasons for SPD applications, which are:
• Someone has moved out • Someone has passed away • I should have been getting the discount already
The form also caters for:
a) The set-up of a Direct Debit where a new account is going to be created because someone has moved out
b) An automated benefit change in circumstances where a person has moved in as a result of a SPD
Once a form is submitted it kicks off a dedicated workflow in IEG4’s RPO engine OpenProcess.
In terms of back-office updates* the SPD form can, depending upon the circumstance:
1. Terminate a current account
2. Transfer a person from an old account to a new account with the discount
3. Create a new person or people where someone/some people has/have moved in
4. Carry out a benefit change in circumstances where someone has moved out
5. Add/remove the Single Person Discount to/from the new account
6. Maintain the occupancy period to ensure this reflects the new occupants
7. Calculate the bill on the old account
8. Generate a bill on the old account
9. Transfer any credit due from one account to another
10. Calculate the bill on the new account
11. Generate a bill on the new account
12. Set up a Direct Debit Payment Method and Instalment Plan if a new account created and they wish to pay by direct debit
13. Adds any contact details for email/phone number to the party completing the form
14. Adds a notepad entry to each account affected to explain the updates made E.g.
“Council tax account 20000868320 has liable party with surname McMahon
Account 20000868320 terminated on 2020-03-31 and new account 2000119406 created
Person 654321 added as a liable party to account 2000119406 from 2020-04-01
Person ‘Claire McMahon' added as a new person. Reference: 987654 Person 987654 added as a liable party to account 2000119406 from 2020-04-01
No balance to transfer from 20000868320 Direct debit setup on account 2000119406"
10. Optionally the account can be suspended for a set period of time prior to billing to allow for QA

retrieve the user’s address if they successfully authenticate in step 1
retrieve the existing liable parties / occupant’s party references
Once a form is submitted, it kicks off a dedicated workflow in IEG4’s RPO engine OpenProcess. In terms of back-office updates* the SPARs form will:
Create the special arrangement
Sets up a Direct Debit where this method is selected
Adds the NINO collected to the party

Person 654321 – 07713491749 added”
The power of the IEG4 solution and reason for the high automation levels its customers achieve are in the real-time checks that are built-in. These are designed to prevent exceptions and forms being submitted in circumstances where you would not want this to happen.
Prior to submission, the SPARs form will:
check if the council tax account number entered and the surname of the account holder match
retrieve the user’s address if they successfully authenticate in step 1.
retrieve the current liable parties/named occupants to enable any contact details/personal information to be added to the party when the form is submitted
retrieve details of the ‘eligible’ debts in line with the council’s policies and check there are debts appropriate to be paid
check if the person has a history of trying to set up payment arrangements and then subsequently reneging on the arrangement
check in real-time, using the industry-leading online bank verification service from Loqate (GBG Group) that the bank account details are valid prior to form submission where they want to pay the arrangement by Direct Debit on the new account, and
checking whether the person has a history of not paying direct debit instalments
Where OpenProcess is not used as your document management system, the online form is capable of:
Saving the PDF to a file location
Automatically indexing the form document into the document management system based upon the account number and whether the process is fully automated or not.
We can provide integration to the following widely used back-office EDM applications:
Information@Work/ NEC DM

IEG4 OpenProcess
Once a form is submitted it kicks off a dedicated workflow in IEG4’s RPO engine OpenProcess. In terms of back-office updates* the Discounts, DBR and Exemptions form can, depending upon the circumstance:
Terminate a current account
Transfer a person or people from an old account to a new account
Create a new person where a new person previously not known is now resident
Create a new occupancy period
Add a new occupant and make them liable or set them as disregarded
Set an empty and unfurnished discount for a date range when moving out of a property
Set an empty and unfurnished discount for a date range when moving into a property
Set an empty and furnished discount for a date range when moving out of a property
Set an empty and furnished discount for a date range when moving into a property
Work out periods where a disregard discount is applicable and automate the addition of this for multiple people where appropriate
Work out periods where an exemption based upon person status is applicable and automate the addition of this
Automate the award of Disabled Band Reduction
Work out periods where an exemption based upon property status is applicable and automate the addition of this
Transfer any credit due from one account to another
Sets up a Direct Debit Payment Method and Instalment Plan if a new account created
Adds any contact details for email/phone number to the party completing the form
Adds the forwarding address for parties no longer resident
Adds a notepad entry to each account affected to explain the updates made e.g. “Person John McMahon added. Reference 950315 Occupancyperiodsetuponaccount612347432685from2019-07-15forpartyrefs950315Student discount added for Person Reference 950223 from 2019-07-13 to 2020-10-20 Student discount added for Person Reference 950224 from 2019-07-20 to 2021-05-20 Student discount added for Person Reference 950315from2019-07-25to2021-02-04Exemptpropertydiscountaddedfrom2019-07-25“
Optionally the account can be suspended for a set period of time prior to billing to allow for QA
*The number of steps involved in the automation is dictated by the APIs available in the back-office application. E.g. Northgate has more APIs than Capita, and the ability to transfer a credit from one account to another is not possible with the Capita One (Academy) Council Tax application.
Upon submission of the Refund Request these details are automatically passed to the back office
The amount to refund
The council tax account number it relates to
The financial year
The bank account the monies should be refunded to
For NEC - the refund is automatically set to endorsed pending the final approval internally
Where OpenProcess is not used as your document management system, the online form is capable of:
Saving the PDF to a file location
Automatically indexing the form document into the document management system based upon the account number and whether the process is fully automated or not.

The following settings control types of evidence uploaded:
Setting Name
Details
UploadWhiteList
This is a setting for the Upload of evidence in forms. This controls the types of files that are permitted. This list would normally only be used if a specific type of file is allowed, as the black list is present below to prevent any disallowed file types. File types are added using their extension and multiple types can be added by separating them with a comma. For example if only MS Word documents were allowed you could add the following: doc,docx
UploadBlackList
The black list is the list of files which are NOT allowed to be uploaded. This allows specific file types known to be commonly used for viruses to be listed
UploadSizeLimit
This allows one to specify the maximum size of any single file in bytes. I.e. 10000 is roughly 10MB
Because evidence presented in the form is dynamic to a person's household, income etc. it is possible to configure when certain evidence requirements are asked for.
This is set up within the Form Configuration File - evidence.xml. Details at the following link:
council tax account no.
Capture the citizen's bank details
Including a real-time bank validation check
Capture the frequency/payment day they’d like
Generate a digital direct debit mandate pre-filled with the content provided
Submit the data into the back-office
Submit a copy of the form PDF into the document management/workflow application
Send an email receipt for the form
Send an email containing details of the Direct Debit information for a fully paperless DD - see the link below for details on this:

If true it will ask for a breakdown of the rooms in the property.
propertyMiscDetailRequired
If true it will for ask about whether the landlord is a former partner etc.
rentServiceDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details of service charges that are part of their rent.
rentReferenceNumberRequired
If true it will ask for their rent account/reference number. Used for Council Tenants/Housing Association claimants.
UCBehaviour
We have made it possible for a council to set any living situation type to be able to exempt from the normal UC behaviour or not. Thereby future proofing the software by having the means to add / change this adhoc for any living situation the customer may choose. In order to make a living situation behave like supporting people did previously the following tag needs to be added to the living situation section for that type:
<UCBehaviour>true</UCBehaviour>
Element
What does it do
applyForHB
If true this will set the ApplyForHB marker in the XML we send in the XML to the back office telling it the person is applying for Housing Benefit. A home owner will not claim Housing Benefit and thus it is set to false.
householdType
This is the value (from a set list in the benefit schema) that will be passed for this option. I.e. Home owner is OwnerOccupier, a Private Landlord is simply Private.
paymentType
This is the only option that two attributes. The first is requireLandlordAccount. If set to true it will ask for the landlord's bank account details. The second is requireClaimantAccount. If set to true it will ask for the claimant's bank account details. Hence both are false in the home owner situation.
landlordDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details of who their landlord is.
propertyDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details like whether the property is detached/furnished etc.
propertyRoomDetailRequired
The application we will provide to is designed to run locally in your council.
So it has built in configuration which tells it how to go and capture these details from the cloud securely.
For security purposes we will provide the information required for the configuration file separately from the application package.
The only thing that you will add outside of this is the network path that you wish to write the file to.

a) the data received is high quality
b) only those that are eligible can successfully submit the form
c) fraudulent/repeat applications cannot be made
d) all decisions can be automated
The online form is short and simple to complete with 5 pages total:
The 'Guidance Notes' page is fully editable within edit mode.
The 'Who Are you' page asks about the applicant and the details on this are used to determine eligibility
The 'About Your Household' page asks about partner and children
The 'Payment' page asks about bank details
The 'Declaration' page is where they can review their answers and agree to your council's information governance and general declaration rules.
The following are the questions asked in the form:
Applicant’s First name
Applicant’s Last name
Applicant’s DOB
Applicant’s NINO
Applicant’s Email address
Applicant’s Telephone
Applicant’s Address
Integration 1 - click here for more -

calculate allowable/disallowed expenditure amounts based upon your own council’s settings
forecast earnings and expenditure for those who have only recently set up a business.
calculate their income for housing benefit/local council support purposes including establishing where the person’s income will be below minimum wage
At the end of this process, the citizen will be taken back to the online form with a copy of the Self-employed form in PDF format to append as evidence. This is designed to ensure that even the most complex benefit claims can be administered quickly and easily.
SimplifiedExpenses
The default is false. If true the claimant is literally asked for the total paid and total forecast. See screenshot below.
TradingPeriodEndDateLimit
This has three options available.
1 - CurrentFinancialYear
2 - ApplicantAnswer - which lets the applicant choose their own trading period end date but it must be 1 year from now or less.
3 - TodayPlus1 - which means it will default to be 1 year from today's date
Setting Name
What it does/behaviours
NavigationBar
If true, there will be a navigation bar down the left showing the pages of the self employed form
LowProfitWeeklyThreshold
The default is 55, which equates to £55.00 profit per week. If the profit is calculated as less than £55.00, the claimant will be asked how they've been meeting their daily living costs, with such little income.
NavigationDynamic
If true this allows a person to move freely through the form without completing all of a page before doing so
HideExpectedCalculation
The default is false. If true the calculation breakdown of their income is hidden.
There is a setting that controls the style of the address look up. The setting is:
AddressLookupStyle
The two modes available which needs you to set them as the value for the above setting.
TypeAheadSearch (this is the default)
If this option is enabled, as the user types in an address or postcode, it will instantly start searching for addresses. This provides a smart way of dynamically getting the results as the user enters their address.
Postcode
If this option is selected the customer needs to enter a postcode and then physically click a search button.
We'd recommend using this method.
Notes
If the setting is not present, you simply need to use the Create button at the bottom of the Form Management > Settings page to add it and set its value to your preferred style.
This can be added at either form level or at global level (not form specific) in your form settings.
In early 2021, Councils became able to use the Ordnance Survey APIs to search for addresses at no cost.
These APIs are documented here:
In order that this can be set up by the IEG4 team, we need to have the council's API key for this. This is free to councils now and simply needs you to create an account per below:
Once you have this simply provide the details to IEG4 support:
Please use this link to raise any new support calls: https://insights.ieg4.com/submit-a-request
And this link is to access details about previous support calls you have raised: https://support.ieg4.com/tickets-view (you may be required to Register as a new user, which is simple and quick to do)
The service takes the applicant / partners NINO and compares this with already successful awards within the past x weeks. If they have already had an award they will be presented with a message like that shown below:
Unless you allow people to receive payments by voucher, the only screen that you'd need to look at in OpenProcess is 'Search Processes'.
Full details on how to use Search Processes, can be found here:
The following illustrates how this looks in the specific context of this process:
With the following illustrating the data passed from the form for the purposes of reporting:
Within the Documents tab you are able to see a copy of the form PDF if desired.
In order to carry out this check, the council needs to have access to the necessary benefit APIs:
PersonSearch
ClaimDetail
If a council has Benefit eChanges, they will generally be licensed for the above APIs.
The purpose of this file is to enable a council to control the different type of businesses a person can indicate they are running. I.e. you can control the content of this drop down:
The following is the file format:
So basically each row of the drop down is filled by a row in the above file. The Value is purely to guide a person as to what could go inside the category. E.g. Beauty is the Value below but what the customer sees in the drop down is Beauty / Nail technician.
A new category can be added by simply copying this content and pasting it above or below an existing Business Category row. E.g
The purpose of this file is to enable the list of expenses a person can select to be customised:
This file also enables a council to indicate whether the amount of the expense should be taken in full, partly or not all in terms of calculating the amount of profit they have.
The following is an excerpt from the file, as it is long:
Within the file example we can see from the <Id> field that there are four distinct expenses. Business Rates, Business Rent, Depreciation and Business Debt.
The Name element is that is presented to customers in the form is the <Name>Business Rent</Name> element.
The Description element is what is automatically added as help text.
The Allowable part is key. This controls whether:
100% of it will be taken into account - 1.0
50% of it will be taken into account - 0.5
0% of it will be taken into account - 0.0
You can add a new expense type, with its own help and set whether it is allowable and to what degree as a result.
The Type element is for information for those updating these. It has no bearing on the calculation.
The purpose of this file is to hold the rates of income tax and national insurance for the purposes of self employed people.
The file holds sections for Income Tax and National Insurance.
In the Income Tax section it holds the threshold and rate (as a %) for these:
Personal Allowance
Basic Tax Rate
Higher Tax Rate
Additional Rate
In the National Insurance section it holds the threshold and rate (as a %) for these:
Class 2 lower start point
Class 2 higher start point
Class 4 lower start point
Class 4 higher start point
The purpose of this file is to hold the tax rates for the financial year before this. This is to cater for people completing the form where there is some income/expenses in last year and some in this.
The file format is identical to the taxandnirates.xml file.
propertyRoomDetailRequired
If true it will ask for a breakdown of the rooms in the property.
propertyMiscDetailRequired
If true it will for ask about whether the landlord is a former partner etc.
rentServiceDetailsRequired
If true it will ask for details of service charges that are part of their rent.
rentReferenceNumberRequired
If true it will ask for their rent account/reference number. Used for Council Tenants/Housing Association claimants.
UCBehaviour
We have made it possible for a council to set any living situation type to be able to exempt from the normal UC behaviour or not. Thereby future proofing the software by having the means to add / change this adhoc for any living situation the customer may choose. In order to make a living situation behave like supporting people did previously the following tag needs to be added to the living situation section for that type:
<UCBehaviour>true</UCBehaviour>


Description
DirectDebitType-DirectDebitTypePrevYear
When set to true this allows a customer to select to set up the Direct Debit for a previous year. This is only of relevance when integration is NOT in place.
DirectDebitType-DirectDebitTypeBoth
Any settings you see prefixed with Bava - are related to bank validation for the Direct Debit element and are updated/maintained by IEG4
Beyond the above, for RPO (Integrated forms) there is further localisation available that is set by IEG4. Details found here:
The purpose of the form is to enable citizens to provide details of who they are, where they live, their council tax account information and primarily to report a change of address.
The form supports three high level moving reasons, which are:
Moving out of the council area
Moving into the council area
Moving within the council area
The form also caters for:
a) The dynamic capture of the necessary data, evidence upload and thus applications for:
Uninhabitable discount/exemptions
SMI discount/exemptions
Carer discount/exemptions
Student discount/exemptions
b) The capture of whether they’d like to notify multiple council departments
c) The automated award and termination of empty unfurnished discounts
d) The automated award and termination of empty furnished discounts
e) The automated award and termination of single person discounts
f) The set-up of a Direct Debit where a new account is going to be created because someone has moved out
To ensure that you can take a fully paperless Direct Debit approach you need to send details of the Direct Debit to be set up within 3 working days.
To optimise the process and remove legacy approaches of sending physical letters to customers, it is possible to automatically email the customer a letter branded with your council's branding.
We need you, as a part of your implementation to provide us with:
Your council's logo
Your council's name / department / address / contact info
If you go to the Form's Portal upon submission, you can see the DD_letter at the bottom of the Documents list:
An example letter generated looks as follows, with the details from the form automatically being used in the creation of the template:
The power of the IEG4 solution and reason for the high automation levels its customers achieve are in the real-time checks that are built-in. These are designed to prevent exceptions and forms being submitted in circumstances where you would not want this to happen.
Prior to submission the Change of Address form will:
check if the council tax account number entered and the surname of the account holder match (Move Out / Move Within only)
retrieve the user’s address if they successfully authenticate in step 1 (Move Out / Move Within only)
retrieve the existing occupant’s party references (Move Out / Move Within only
present the details of the existing occupants for a person to indicate who's moving from one address to another (Move Within)
check and retrieve details of the responsible parties present on a property when a tenant has not provided details of their landlord etc. This check is used to subsequently upon submission make them liable. (Move Out / Move Within only)
check the status of occupancy discounts on the property so as to know which / when to remove them from if any are applicable as a result of the data for the move
check if they’re in receipt of council tax support (Move Out / Move Within only)
carry out an address look up where a person is moving to a new address (Move In / Move Within only)
check in real-time, using the industry-leading online bank verification service from Loqate (GBG Group) that the bank account details are valid prior to form submission where they set up a direct debit as a part of the process. If they are invalid, the citizen is told to check and try again. If they are valid the details of their bank are retrieved and automatically populated into the Direct Debit Mandate page.
An optional function within the Change of Address form is the ability to notify multiple other departments about the change of address.
Within Form System Management, you can modify which departments are available to choose and also the email addresses to send the details to.
This is done within the Files area of Form System Management. First select the Change of Address form. There will be a file called:
configuration/notificationareas.xml
The purpose of this file is to control the behaviour of the notification areas page AND to control the config/content of emails to different organisations.
The file is made up of all ‘Areas’ or departments to which the council wants the citizen to be able to notify the change of address to.
The file is an XML file with each <Area> section controlling the behaviour for that department. To provide an example the following is the Council Tax ‘Area’ section of the XML file:
There are some things to explain: <Mode> tags
This has three allowed values:
If set to always the question about this department will not appear and an email will always be sent to the department in question using the email address within the Notification section of the file for the given area.
If set to optional then the citizen will see this as an option with the online form to opt in to have their move details shared
Will hide the department from the form and no emails will be sent to them
Here is where you can change the name of the department i.e. if I wanted it to say Revenues Department instead of Council Tax I would update the tag as follows:
<Name> <Default>Revenues Department</Default> <ResourceKey>CouncilTaxName</ResourceKey>
</Name>
These tags are ONLY to control what appears on the online form beside the department in question and only where the mode is Optional.
So for Adult Social Care the following might be the wording: <Wording>
<Default>If you receive Adult Social Care Services.</Default>
<ResourceKey>AdultSocialCareWording</ResourceKey> </Wording>
Per above, this is simply to be able to modify what is shown beside the check box. I.e. in the above the tags are updated as:
<TickBoxWording> <Default>[Tick to notify this department]</Default> <ResourceKey>CouncilTaxTickBoxWording</ResourceKey>
This is where you control what the subject line and body of the email are as well as the email address to send it to. E.g. if I wanted it to go to counciltax@ieg4.gov.uk, have a subject line of Council Tax Move Details and a body of:
"Please find details of the move in the attachment."
One would update the tags as follows:

Special Arrangements (SPARs) enable councils to maximise their recovery rates by enabling those that have breached the original instalment plans to set up payment arrangements subsequently.
The economic consequences of the lockdown put in place to prevent transmission of COVID-19 are expected to be vast for citizens and businesses alike. Consequently, the likelihood of there being an increase in non-payment by those that would normally pay is significant. Therefore, having an intelligent special arrangement service is going to be of greater value in the coming years.
Enabling citizens to apply for a special payment arrangement online, which conforms to the council’s payment arrangement policies is crucial given the focus on ensuring:
The removal of physical documents
the digitization / standardisation of processes, and
the maximization of the resources the council has available
IEG4’s SPARs solution is intelligent and uses data already known about a citizen to drive a personalised process that results in the complete automation of the process.
The form is able to:
Authenticate a citizen
Retrieve their address/account information
Provide the citizen with details of the amounts (debts) eligible for a special payment arrangement
Capture details of their employment/benefits etc.
Calculate the instalment schedule based upon the option they selected and provide them with a view of the instalment plan for them to agree to prior to submission
Capture / validate their bank details for the purposes of an arrangement being made via Direct Debit
Setting Name
Example Value
Description
YearCrossoverPoint
FinancialYear
There are two options FinancialYear and CalendarYear
MonthsToAllowYearCrossover
3
This is the maximum number of months the instalment plan can go beyond the 'YearCrossoverPoint'. I.e. if it is FinancialYear for the YearCrossoverPoint then if set to 3 the instalment schedule would be calculated as extending to a maximum of end of June.
MinimumWeeksToPay
8
One of the options in the form is the lowest number of instalments they can choose to pay in. This can be anything but the default is 8 weeks.
Beyond the above, for RPO (Integrated forms) there is further localisation available that is set by IEG4. Details found here:
Request a refund is a newly built form that enables citizens to request a refund and for this request to be passed automatically into the back office.
The form has the following functionality:
a) Automatic authentication of the customer (checking that their account number/surname match)
b) Automated retrieval of overall credit (i.e. if -100.00 in credit on this year but £10.00 in arrears on last year, it will show £90.00 credit payable)
c) Automatic retrieval of existing bank details to use for processing the refund request
d) The ability to request the money is paid into a different account
e) The ability to provide bank details if none were previously held on the account
f) It will present an error if there is no refund due
g) It will validate the bank account details entered using the best in class online bank validation provided by .
h) Upon submission it will push the refund request into the back office application (NEC is the only back office this is available for right now)
i) Upon submission it will pass a PDF of the refund request to your document management application
j) Upon submission it will send an email receipt
The following illustrates the form/questions.
As with all RPO forms the customer is authenticated as a part of the process. Below we can see that the authentication has failed and the customer is presented with the message: "We were unable to find a matching council tax account":
Note the wording of this (and virtually all wording) can be changed in the Resources area of eGovHub - forms system management:
Where the customer provides a valid council tax account they're address will be presented and they can continue:
We go on to capture a phone number, email address and where someone is completing the form on their behalf their details.
It is the next page of the form where intelligence is deployed to ensure only valid refunds are awarded.
We will show the various scenarios below but the important thing to note is the form is smart enough to look at the overall balance not simply whether a single year is in credit. I.e.
a) If one year is in credit and others are at £0.00 it knows this is a valid credit for the year (assuming benefit re-calculaton has already happened of course)
b) If one year is in credit and another is >0.00 it knows to offset these to derive the real credit and if there is no credit they will be told they're ineligible
c) If two years are in credit and and others are at £0.00, it knows to refund money back to the respective years.
The following are the various scenarios of functionality:
Scenario 1 - Person has a credit and a pre-existing bank account is held:
Scenario 2 - Person has a credit and a bank account is not currently held:
Scenario - Person is not eligible for a refund:
A message is presented and the customer is unable to submit the form.
Scenario - Person has provided invalid bank details
We can see the message presented and this prevents the form from being submitted until remedied:
