Universal Credit Full Service – Where Next.
Our future plans.Slide5
Claimant opens account to claim UC online. It’s the claimants account to manage and interact with the DWP.
Claimant may attend claimant commitment interview dependant on workgroup. Here they will receive tailored support from a work coach.
A relationship is built with a mixture of face to face and digital / remote coaching using To Do’s and Journal entries. Payments are shown too.
The service adapts to claimants circumstances and the coaching channel shifts with it. The more self sufficient – the more digital the interaction
As the claimant finds work they can report this online and still receive support as their UC entitlement decreases.
Support continues digitally until claimant is on a zero payment. However if their situation changes, they can report this online.Slide6
