Future Benefits Model (FFBM) Case Library – help needed

by on March 14, 2012

A little more detail on what I’m trying to do.

As the real detail starts to appear about the new system(s) I want to add to our existing range of assessments in the FFBM some more human examples. As well as the existing scenarios, which use a range of incomes at standard intervals and averaged housing costs etc., I’d like a range of real, anonymised, examples with real housing costs, incomes, circumstances etc. I can then build them into a library and model the impacts on them and also the effects of changing their circumstances; more or less income, changes in numbers of kids etc.

From these I can generate impacts based on ‘Ms X from Hackney’ or ‘Mr. Y from Rotherham’. I suspect that this may be a more useful exercise for comment rather than the analytically valuable standard case types. I think both are needed but I don’t, anymore, have the sharp-end access to real people that this needs.

So… examples please.
