One issue was who would control the rising number of claims.
A number of claims were filed on July 30, 1927.
The average number of claims for the period fell to the lowest level since late 1989.
But the increasing number of claims have to be paid for.
Frequently, they close up shop when a significant number of claims come in.
In the latest week, the number of new claims fell by 67,000, to 367,000.
But if you look at the number of claims, they were low to begin with and are on the way up.
It had previously put the number of new claims in the March 7 week at 433,000.
The average number of claims per 100 files is about 5.
There is no single reason for the rise in numbers of claims.
