answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>Universal Credit is simpler and fairer than the legacy system and is designed in a way that better reflects the extra costs disabled people can face and the extra support available for costs of care.</p><p>In designing the system we place the needs of the people at the heart of the claimant journey and we are moving to a model of a dedicated work coach, who facilitates access to an integrated support network which can adapt and be tailored to a person’s health needs. It also, for the first time, helps people with a disability or health condition, who are already in work, to remain there and to progress their position and earnings with confidence and support.</p><p>We engage with claimants through a variety of communication methods and are able to provide flexible support when needed. Claimants may also be referred to a range of specialist support and provision, to help meet any skills needs or help them move into work more quickly.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 20/11/2017 18:04:00 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
