The Secretary of State for Social Security has asked me to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many visiting officers since the inception of the Benefits Agency are employed on residual visiting duties excluding targeting review visits in Wales at the latest available date.As at 19 November, the Benefits Agency in Wales employed the equivalent of 18.25 full time posts on any necessary residual visiting duties. This does not include home visits connected with the Security Strategy.I hope you find this reply helpful.
