DWP has invested a further £22million in the ‘Help to Claim’ scheme delivered by the Citizens Advice network
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced an extra £22million is being invested to extend free and impartial support for people making a Universal Credit claim. The ‘Help to Claim’ support will continue to be delivered independently for another year by Citizens Advice and Citizens Advice Scotland.
Commenting on the additional funding, Minister for Employment, Guy Opperman MP, said: “Help to Claim continues to assist thousands of people every year with over 800,000 people already receiving support since its introduction. This additional investment will allow Citizens Advice to continue to provide this vital support following its extension for a further year.”
Dame Clare Moriarty, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said: "As the cost of living continues to put household finances under pressure, our top priority is supporting the many people coming to us for help. We’re glad to continue this important support.
