<p>DWP administer a wide range of benefits, all of which have different processes
in place to deal with the vast range of potential changes to a claimant’s circumstances.
How the change affects a claimant’s payments depends on the type of change, which
benefit they are receiving, the claim’s status before the change occurs and whether
the change was self-reported by the claimant or by a third party.</p><p> </p><p>In
all cases the Department works with the claimant to ensure payment continuity wherever
possible. There are processes in place to ensure that when a benefit recipient reports
a change in circumstances, they continue to receive the correct award of that benefit,
or are informed of what appropriate action they should take where the change effects
continued entitlement.</p>
