Sources verified for 2020/21
Configuration 2020-21-v1.14; only its annual allowance and taper figures, and its Child Benefit weekly rates, are verified against official sources; its other figures are best-effort historical values, not yet confirmed against an official table, verification dated 2026-07-25. The figures are unchanged since configuration 2020-21-v1.12; later versions changed only the source notes. This page reproduces the configuration’s own verification record — the sources each figure was checked against and any qualifier the rates tables cannot hold — without the engineering change notes kept beside it. It restates no figure; the figures are on the 2020/21 rates page and in the machine-readable dataset.
