PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Pensions and Social Security Benefits: Windrush Generation (4 June 2019)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Mark Tami (Labour)
Answer
The Department does not hold this information and to produce it would incur disproportionate cost. DWP has helped over 400 Windrush generation claimants to resolve issues with benefit entitlement.
DWP staff continue to support people of the Windrush generation with their benefits and pensions claims and are also working closely with other Government bodies to assist those who apply to the Home Office’s Windrush Compensation Scheme. This scheme will take into account loss of income, such as barriers to employment and/or access to benefits and pensions.
