DWP have launched a campaign to raise awareness of the benefits that people may be entitled to when they are in work. The campaign is aimed at benefit recipients as well as those working to advise customers.
The DWP notice contains links to Directgov pages about in work benefits and also promotes the In and Out of Work Project which is being rolled out nationally.
A leaflet can be downloaded to display in your centre or issue to customers and there are also fact sheets for advisory staff. The leaflet can be ordered from iON from 11 December.
The most interesting element of this is that DWP are inviting organisation to host or attend a workshop to understand more about how Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit can help customers into work. If you do take up the offer, let us know how it goes!
Independent scrutiny of service delivery with realistic solutions to increase efficiency and performance!
