<p>DWP take the security of Universal Credit very seriously, including verifying who
our claimants are. We continue to work closely with Government Digital Service to
support the success of the Verify online system. The high standards of ID verification
achieved by Verify are used on our UC Full Service today in addition to a face-to-face
alternative approach.</p><p> </p><p>We may also ask for separate documentary evidence,
ask biometric questions based on data the department holds, or contact trusted third
parties (such as a doctor) in order to verify a claimants identity and establish other
personal and financial circumstances necessary for the processing of a Universal Credit
claim.</p>
