DWP admits one rule is creating 'barriers' for claimants
Original: DWP new October update as it admits one rule is creating 'barriers' for claimants https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.mir
The Department for Work and Pensions has issued an October update in which it admits that one of its own rules is creating 'barriers' for benefit claimants. The concession, reported by the Mirror, is drawing attention from campaigners and claimants concerned about access to benefits, with questions expected over whether the department will now change the rule or simply acknowledge the difficulty it causes.
Why now: A government department publicly admitting one of its rules harms claimants is unusual and raises expectations of reform.
