Join us for an informative session designed in partnership with the Department of Works and Pension (DWP) to provide Newham Champions and Volunteers with a comprehensive understanding of:

DWP Benefit awareness sessions, an educational meetings designed to inform stakeholders about the various UK state benefits available to the public. These sessions aim to ensure that partners fully understand the scope, value, and utilisation of benefits to better assist and guide individuals in need. Key components of these sessions include:

Comprehensive Overview: Detailed explanations of DLA Child.

Eligibility and Application: Information on who is eligible for DLA Child, how to apply, changes in circumstance and important deadlines or criteria.

Utilisation Guidance: Practical advice on how to effectively use benefits, including navigating the claims process, accessing support services, and understanding how benefits interact.

Updates and Changes: Updates on any changes to existing benefits or the introduction of new benefits, including policy changes that may affect entitlements.

Interactive Q&A: Opportunities to ask questions and get personalised advice from DWP representatives.

The primary benefits of these sessions include increased awareness and understanding of available benefits among partners, improved collaboration and support for individuals seeking benefits, and enhanced ability to navigate and explain the benefits system. They also help demystify complex information, making it more accessible and actionable for those assisting individuals in need.
