	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>The pilot during which we will move legacy claimants without a change in circumstance to Universal Credit will start in Harrogate, where we will initially test an approach that is based on using existing relationships that DWP or partners have with claimants. Through these relationships we will establish whether someone is ready to move and how to prepare them. As we become confident that this approach works, we will consider how we can expand this ‘who knows me’ approach through trusted stakeholders, who may include Local Authority Welfare Officers. This approach differs from the ‘Trusted Partner’ status that some Landlords hold to support Universal Credit claimants with their rent verification.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 20/03/2019 14:46:42 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
