Blimey, that was quick!

thanks very much for your reply!

Cut and paste job.

Sorry for the revival of a very old post. Any idea what a “Y15” reason code means?

hi martin -

found this ..

‘No change outcomes: These are outcome codes where entitlement to benefit has been looked at, but the amount of benefit awarded has not been changed. Y15 Y18 Y45 Y46 Y99’

... in http://research.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd5/rports2009-2010/rrep583.pdf

cheers - shawn

Nice one Shawn.

Slightly off topic but does anyone have the payment codes used in bank references?  Things like XB for Christmas bonus and SPR for retirement pension.  They appear as a code in payments and can let you work out what benefits are included.
