<p>The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is responsible for determining eligibility
for benefits, including decisions on whether to reinstate benefits or recompense for
lost benefits. The Windrush Compensation Scheme will not make any payment in relation
to DWP administered benefits but will work with DWP in order to facilitate the processing
of claims in accordance with their usual rules. To the end of March, the Vulnerable
Persons Team have made 364 referrals to DWP in relation to fresh claims and reinstatement
of benefits.</p>
