Benefits Service As of 16th March 2020, all routine appointments at local Jobs & Benefits offices have been postponed. Those due to sign-on will be excused from signing. For those already receiving benefits, you will continue to receive payments and rather than attend the office for appointments, Work Coaches will communicate with you via your on-line journal, the phone, or will simply reschedule appointments for a later date. If you having difficulty getting through on the phone, try again later, do not visit your local office unless you have been instructed to do so or in an emergency.

Attending appointments / assessments All appointments at local Jobs & Benefits offices have been postponed from 16th March 2020. Nobody will be penalised for not attending the office. Face to face assessments for all benefits will be suspended for 3 months from 16th March 2020. Assessments for benefits will be carried out by telephone, or by considering medical evidence submitted by post. If you already have an appointment for assessment scheduled, you will be contacted to cancel your appointment.

Personal Independence Payment (PPI) Face to face assessments will be suspended for a period of 3 months from 16th March 2020. If you are claiming or considering claiming PPI all medical assessments will be carried out by phone or by considering medical evidence submitted by post.

Universal Credit New claims to Universal Credit will still be made on-line. All follow up activities that would ordinarily have been undertaken in the office, will be managed on-line or over the phone. Nobody will have to visit the office at any stage of making their new claim, except in exceptional circumstances. If you are unable to make your claim online please telephone the Universal Credit Helpline on 0800 012 1331. Existing claimants can still contact your work Coach via your online journal or by phone if necessary
