answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2018 answer text <p>A small Proof of Concept was undertaken with DISC Holdings (formerly Govcoin) which included a budgeting app that could be used on a mobile phone. There are no plans to roll out any such pilot at scale. If claimants chose to use an account with a mobile app, as long as it has a standard account number and sort code, then they may do so. It is not within the DWP’s remit to promote one company’s product over another.</p><p> </p><p>DWP has liaised with University College London regarding technological developments in this area. No formal projects were initiated as a result of this.</p><p> </p><p>The Department continues to work with industry to understand how emerging technologies can be used to support claimants.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 22/01/2018 14:26:56 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
