answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2020 answer text <p>We know this is a worrying time for people and we stand ready to support anyone impacted by job loss. In response to COVID-19 we have established an alternative service to our usual face-to-face offer. People will be able to access redundancy help and job search advice on the Department’s new Job Help campaign website (<a href="http://www.jobhelp.dwp.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.jobhelp.dwp.gov.uk</a>). There is also information on gov.uk and updated information packs provided to employers to help them signpost employees to the support that is available. The support includes:</p><p> </p><ul><li>connecting people to jobs in the labour market;</li><li>helping with job search including CV writing, interview skills, where to find jobs and how to apply for them;</li><li>helping to identify transferable skills and skills gaps (linked to the local labour market); and</li><li>advising what benefits they may get and how to claim.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The Rapid Response Service is co-ordinated nationally by the National Employer and Partnership Team and managed by Jobcentre Plus. Delivery partners include the National Careers Service, local training providers, employers, HM Revenue &amp; Customs, Money Advice Service and the skills bodies in England.</p><p> </p><p>These services are offered by equivalents in the Devolved Administrations: PACE (Scotland) and ReAct (Wales). Redundancy support in Northern Ireland is devolved with separate funding and delivery arrangements where no partner support is available</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 02/06/2020 15:52:35 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2020 answer text <p>Households receiving Universal Credit and tax credits will benefit straight away from the increase of £20 a week in the standard allowances which was announced on 20 March, meaning claimants will be up to £1040 better off. New claimants who have either become unemployed, or whose earnings or work hours have decreased because of the outbreak, will benefit too; subject to their eligibility.</p><p>We have also made a number of changes to legacy and other working age benefits in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, including increasing certain entitlements, such as Local Housing Allowance, lifting rates to the 30<sup>th</sup> percentile from April 2020 which will increase the housing support available and reduce shortfalls for those renting in the private rented sector. Up-to-date information about the employment and benefits support available, including Universal Credit, Statutory Sick Pay, New style Jobseeker’s Allowance, and Employment and Support Allowance, can be found here: <a href="https://www.understandinguniversalcredit.gov.uk/employment-and-benefits-support/" target="_blank">https://www.understandinguniversalcredit.gov.uk/employment-and-benefits-support/</a></p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 04/06/2020 15:24:39 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott
