Answer
The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) aim to complete each Mandatory Reconsideration within 28 days (20 working days).
The average clearance time for a Mandatory Reconsiderations is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
Table 9: Mandatory Reconsiderations, Great Britain, April 2015 to September 2024 is available in the latest CMS published statistics, and it shows that between July and September 2024, 79% of CMS Mandatory Reconsiderations were cleared within 28 days of receipt.
