<p>This initiative brings together information from energy suppliers and is aimed
at helping those who are vulnerable or facing difficulties in meeting energy costs.</p><p>
</p><p>Birkenhead Jobcentre continues to offer the information leaflet, which details
available support to claimants at appropriate stages of their benefit claim, when
they meet with their Work Coach. The leaflet is also on display and available at various
points within the Jobcentre. The information is made available to claimants across
the full range of unemployment related benefits including Universal Credit.</p><p>
</p><p>We are not able to confirm precise numbers of leaflets offered and taken up;
nor on numbers of claimants availing themselves of the support. We can say, however,
that claimants give positive feedback to staff.</p><p> </p><p>Following this successful
trial the leaflet will be distributed across the wider Jobcentre Plus network.</p>
