These help to ensure that DWP staff are alerted when a relevant change is processed in a connected benefit, so that further investigation can be initiated and appropriate adjustments made.</p><p> </p><p>In the case of deaths DWP operates a Tell Us Once service for the public sector. Recognising the uniquely sensitive circumstances and wide governmental relevance, Tell Us Once shares death information across a range of government partners.
