This includes adding information to HMRC’s Interactive Voice Response for people calling on the phone, and updating GOV.UK pages. We have used the DWP Twitter and Facebook channels to share messages, and have used paid media to ensure we reach millions of people.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Department continually makes improvements to the UC service in response to feedback and user research. Therefore, on 3 June we introduced a check-through box to remind claimants to check their eligibility before making a claim and to remind them that legacy benefits will cease when the UC claim is submitted.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 09/06/2020 17:00:51 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
