The Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance Domestic Violence Easement began in April 2012. The table below provides details of easements granted for the three years since its introduction. The increasing number of individuals claiming the easement is likely to be related to the awareness raising work carried out with operational staff and stakeholders.<\/p>

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) uses a variety of free and paid for channels to effectively communicate important reforms and how people are affected.<\/p>

<\/p>

The channels used are considered the most effective route to reach key audiences, whilst offering value for money. All advertising spend is scrutinised and agreed through the Cabinet Office.<\/p>

<\/p>

DWP launched an information campaign to help people understand what the State Pension changes mean for them. The multi-channel advertising campaign \u2018Your Future, Your Pension\u2019 is part of the Government\u2019s drive to explain the State Pension reforms to both current and future pensioners.<\/p>

<\/p>

The advertising directs people to the information they need on GOV.UK and encourages relevant groups to request a statement through the Statement Service.<\/p>

<\/p>

No money was spent on promoting the phrase \u2018Your Future, Your Pension\u2019. The money spent on the marketing campaign that includes the phrase \u2018your State Pension, your future\u2019 is as follows:<\/p>

Direct Mail \u2013 £6,177<\/p>

Magazine advertorials \u2013 £61,982<\/p>

<\/p>

There is no specific budget for the use of either phrase within the campaign.<\/p>

Full benefit cap statistics for November 2014 can be found at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/benefit-cap-number-of-households-capped-to-november-2014<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

These statistics do not contain benefit type information. However, all capped households included in the official statistics are in receipt of Housing Benefit. At November 2014 (the latest available data) 24,252 households are subject to the cap, and therefore are in receipt of Housing Benefit. At November 2014 22,866 capped households had 1 or more child dependants so we could infer that all of these capped households with child dependant(s) are in receipt of child benefit.<\/p>

<\/p>

A suite of evaluation was published on 15 December 2014. This evaluation made estimates of the proportion of capped households in scope for the cap who were in receipt of Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance (JSA), Income Support (IS), Employment Support Allowance (ESA) or other benefit types over time.<\/p>
