star this property answer text <p>Claimants will only need to reapply for Universal Credit if their Universal Credit award stops. If this is the case a claimant’s statement in their on-line account will show a zero payment and a written notification in their journal will also explain the reclaim process. The notification informs the claimant that they can reclaim and the service automatically offers a reclaim to claimants who are eligible.</p><p> </p><p>The reclaim process (if nothing has changed in the claimant circumstances) is less than 10 minutes. Where there has been a change in the claimant circumstances they only have to update the change. Claimants whose claims are closed through earnings can reclaim within 6 months.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government is carrying out an ongoing programme of assessment work since the Referendum. This will inform our negotiating position with the EU, to define our deep and special partnership and inform our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks. The Department for Work and Pensions is working in close coordination with the Department for Exiting the European Union, to ensure the delivery of a holistic programme.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s EU exit work is being centrally co-ordinated, but the breadth of issues to be considered, and the interactions between EU exit work and the Department’s other priorities, mean that it is not possible to provide an estimate of staff numbers, or time spent, on work in this area.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Reviews of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which can be paid at one of eight rates, are a key part of the benefit and ensure that not only do awards remain correct where needs may change, including increasing, but that we also maintain contact with the claimant, both features missing from its predecessor Disability Living Allowance. Importantly, the length of an award is based on an individual’s circumstances and can vary from nine months to an on-going award, with a light touch review at the ten year point.</p><p> </p><p>We are aware through discussion with stakeholders such as the Motor Neurone Disease Association, that some people are not receiving an award duration that is appropriate to their condition and needs arising. We are, therefore, currently developing improved guidance to ensure that those with severe and/or progressive conditions, who are awarded the highest level of PIP, get an award duration that is appropriate and avoids unnecessary reviews. Once we have written the new guidance we will take that through a process of testing to ensure it works effectively and is delivering as intended.</p>
