By the end of February 2018 we will have made written contact with all current claimants of support for mortgage interest (SMI). This initial contact is followed up by a telephone discussion and these are expected to be completed by April 2018. It is possible, in cases where vulnerable claimants require the appointment of a Power of Attorney representative, that this process may not be completed by April. Transitional provisions are in place to ensure that SMI payments can continue in such circumstances.<\/p>"}

As set out in the Industrial Strategy White Paper, this Government is determined that everyone should benefit from the changes that new technologies will continue to bring. What we have seen throughout history is that technological change has delivered more jobs, and we now have record employment. There may be challenging transitions to make for some as work changes, but the future lies in support that promotes work and is increasingly tailored to the needs of the individual, not a single payment for everyone.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has not made an assessment of the impact of the increase in automation. However we believe that Universal Credit is the right approach for a changing economy, because it simplifies the benefit system, targets resources according to need, and pays people flexibly as their working circumstances change, and ensures that work always pays.<\/p>"}

The Department\u2019s review of automatic enrolment (AE), Maintaining the Momentum,<\/em> published in December 2017 sets out the Government\u2019s position in regard to the self-employed and retirement saving. The review report can be viewed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/668971/automatic-enrolment-review-2017-maintaining-the-momentum.PDF<\/a><\/p> <\/p>
The self-employed represent a highly diverse group of around 15% of the workforce amongst whom pension coverage varies significantly. Our review recognised that a significant proportion of the 4.8m self-employed individuals in the UK have good levels of saving and preparation for later life \u2013 but many groups are under saving, or at risk of under saving for retirement<\/p>
<\/p>
Compulsion would be an indiscriminate way of tackling this challenge. It would also fail to maximise behavioural learning from automatic enrolment, or recognise personal choice.<\/p>
As the AE review sets out, our approach is based on applying learning from the principles and the successful roll-out of automatic enrolment to appropriately target interventions and understand what works. During this year, we have committed to test targeted interventions, following feasibility work \u2013 before setting out proposals to implement workable solutions at scale.<\/p>"}
