answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>We recognise that some people will need help with the new demands of UC. This could include understanding the new system, help with getting online, and help with managing on a monthly budget and paying rent.</p><p> </p><p>Central to the Local Support Service Framework is the “Delivery Partnerships Approach” under which DWP and local authority managers and service providers (such as Social Landlords and Charities) will work together to agree upon delivery of services at the local level. This will enable the provision of a joined-up, holistic service for claimants with complex needs and a “coherent claimant journey” for helping the claimant move from welfare dependency. Wherever appropriate, this may also result in work readiness for each claimant.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
