<p>We are continuing to develop our approach to capture accurate, aggregate data on
vulnerable claimants, including those who are victims of domestic and economic abuse.
This work is ongoing and has been prioritised for the current Universal Credit development
phase. This involves us meeting with claimants and expert users such as third parties
and Work Coaches to see how people will respond to being asked about their circumstance
and support they may require. We are also working on how we can use the Claimant Commitment
to capture information about when easements have been applied for claimants.</p><p>
</p><p>We are also implementing other improvements across our service for victims
and survivors of domestic abuse and in response to one of the Joint Committee’s recommendations
on the Domestic Abuse Bill, we have committed to review and evaluate the effectiveness
of a new feature to encourage payments of UC to the main carer and the introduction
of domestic abuse specialists in every Jobcentre.</p>
