This report summarises the findings of the evaluation of the Avenues pilot. Avenues tested a modified Domestic Purposes Benefit application process and ran from August 2001 to January 2002. The pilot tested the assumption that enhanced case management would alter the number of people who pursued a Domestic Purposes Benefit. The pilot did not significantly alter the numbers applying.
