The Department for Work and Pensions is responsible for welfare, pensions, and child maintenance policy. It administers the State Pension and a range of working age, disability, and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants and customers.
More than a quarter of a million workplace training places for benefit claimants have been delivered in just three years. Additionally, low-income households are receiving a Cost of Living Payment worth £299, and private renters are set to receive increased housing support. Families struggling with energy bills are also encouraged to seek help from their council for Household Support Fund assistance.
Working parents on Universal Credit can receive up to £20,872 a year in childcare support, which can greatly assist with the cost of childcare expenses.
Individuals can contact the benefit office for enquiries about their benefit claim. They can also send questions to the DWP ministerial correspondence team for further assistance.
