Guy Opperman: In the financial year 2021-22, there was a higher than forecasted caseload for those with health conditions and therefore receiving a health element in their Universal Credit award. Universal Credit households with health conditions tend to have the highest average awards, and an increase in this caseload tends to increase the overall UC average award. Therefore, even though the overall...
Guy Opperman: I would refer to the answer already given at PQ 181920 in relation to the support provided to customers in our Jobcentres. As part of its commitment to make services accessible to all customers, the Department provides computers for customer use in Jobcentres which have assistive technology built into them and are managed separately from the wider DWP IT estate. The Department also provides...
Guy Opperman: The Department provides computers for customer use in Jobcentres which have assistive technology such as screen readers and screen magnification built into them. Although Jobcentres do not offer the use of refreshable braille displays, customers are able to access a wide range of services which can support their needs such as braille and large print documents being made available upon request.
Guy Opperman: Each jobcentre is constructed to the legislation relevant at the time of the project. Legislation continues to evolve leading to newer sites typically including more inclusive design than older ones. Access audits are now being carried out for all new building acquisitions and major refurbishment projects. Recommendations from these audits then become part of the scope for the works being...
Guy Opperman: The government is committed to supporting people both into work and to progress in work. The changes to the Administrative Earnings Threshold (AET) ensure that more Universal Credit claimants on low incomes are provided with regular Work Coach support to help them grow their earnings. This could be by accessing provision to improve their skills, identifying opportunities to work more hours or...
Guy Opperman: There are currently no plans to introduce a Bereavement Support Payment for parents who were full-time carers of a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. Payment of Universal Credit will continue, unreduced, as a bereavement run-on for the current assessment period and the two assessment periods following the bereavement.
Guy Opperman: The primary aim of the Universal Credit deductions policy is to protect vulnerable claimants by providing a last resort repayment method for arrears of essential services. In recent years, the standard UC deduction cap has been reduced twice – from 40% to 30% of the Standard Allowance in October 2019, and down to 25% in April 2021. The requested information is provided in the separate...

Guy Opperman: The DWP Evaluation Strategy sets out our approach for ensuring that our evaluation work delivers high quality evidence on the right questions at the right time. It covers all types of evaluation – process, impact and value for money.
Guy Opperman: The Claimant Commitment is agreed between the claimant and the Work Coach, and it is based on the claimant’s particular circumstances. People are only sanctioned when they fail, without good reason, to meet the requirements set out in their Claimant Commitment. Failure to attend or participate in a mandatory interview, as agreed in the Claimant Commitment, accounted for 98.5% of adverse...
Guy Opperman: The department provides updates on the progress of the ongoing investigation on the main sanctions statistics page.
Guy Opperman: DWP is constantly working to improve the accessibility of DWP gov.uk services for users of assistive technologies.
