Automates Universal Credit Verifications to avoid underpayment and admin burden
Updated: Sep 11

With the continuing energy and cost-of-living crisis, there is a rising number of claimants of means-tested benefits and higher entitlements among existing claimants. On top of that, The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) announced that all benefit claimants (including Housing Benefit) will be moved over to Universal Credit by the end of 2024, with moves from legacy schemes resuming. There can be 50% increase in UC Claims by end of 2024 due to the migration policy away from the benefit system.

A robot(s) can be assigned to interact with the DWP portal, Housing Management and Finance systems, to check and confirm tenancy details automatically with claims being processed in around 2 minutes, representing 4-5 times productivity improvement.
