WEBINAR - Understanding DWP ‘complex needs’

This is a one-off, live, 90 minute webinar.

Overview
Identifying ‘complex needs’ among claimants of benefits is of key importance. It can help people with DWP decisions where good reason is in question and can offer protection where benefits would otherwise be stopped. It can also be important in deciding whether a claimant should be offered a home visit by the DWP.

This webinar looks at the DWP process for identifying complex needs and how we can help our clients access additional support where appropriate.
