questionText: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that when errors in earnings submissions to HMRC are self-identified and corrected, those corrections are communicated promptly and accurately to the Department for Work and Pensions, so that claimants are not adversely or unfairly affected by inaccurate income data.
answerText: Where an error has been identified, employers can submit revised information to HMRC through standard reporting processes. HMRC transmits payroll data to the Department for Work and Pensions on a daily basis.
