Department of Work and Pensions. As part of our proposal to develop an Outreach service, targeting those at risk in the community, either through social exclusion, deprivation or due to age or disability, we are offering individual casework support for people to maximise their benefit entitlement. We have a team of trained Welfare Benefits advisors, who currently work exclusively with those individuals who have been deemed eligible for social care services following a community care assessment. We will extend this, by offering this service to individuals, particularly older people, who contact our outreach service. LAA 7 In order to process these claims effectively, it would be a great advantage to be recognised as an “alternative office” by the Department of Work and Pensions. This status would allow our Welfare Benefits officers to receive and verify social security claims made by older people, on behalf of DWP. This status can be granted either to offices of local voluntary agencies, or to local authorities, but in the case of local authorities, it is normally done so in the context of a wider agreement to create Joint teams with DWP. We are not yet in a position to agree to merge into a joint team, but want to progress this specific element. Further details on “Alternative Office” status appear on the DWP website at: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇/publications/dwp/2004/l inkage/alt_offices/alternative.asp We believe that it would be more cost effective for our Welfare Benefits officers to have this authority to verify claims, rather than have to send the claims on to DWP for verification, and that this will allow us to assist more individuals within the resources we have available. Request Approved.
