answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Jobcentres often provide budgeting support and can also signpost people to locally available support services. Within Universal Credit, the Personal Budgeting Support process provides a conversation with all claimants at their initial Interview to gauge their potential support needs – this could include money advice with a mix of online, telephone and face to face support. Alternative Payment Arrangements can be made for the minority of claimants that may struggle to manage monthly payments initially.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 18/06/2015 16:22:54 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
