answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2019 answer text <p>Explicit consent is not required to make a new claim. If claimants cannot make or manage their claim on-line, they can receive face to face support through their local jobcentre, assistance through our Freephone telephone number or with support from a third party agency. Once the claim is made, claimants who require agencies to act on their behalf can provide explicit consent. As explicit consent can only be given after a claim has been made this data does not exist.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 01/04/2019 14:10:40 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
