The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) requires claimants to verify their identity when applying for Universal Credit. While many applicants can complete this process online, others are referred to face-to-face verification at their local Jobcentre. The purpose of this step is to prevent fraud, ensure that benefit payments are made to the correct person, and confirm eligibility.
Claimants are not inferior. They are individuals navigating hardship through no fault of their own. The people who work within the DWP and Universal Credit should be trained and reminded that respect is non-negotiable. Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, especially when they’re asking for help, not handouts.
Recent revelations have highlighted disturbing cases of DWP staff committing benefit fraud, stealing funds meant for people living in poverty, with disabilities, or nearing the end of their lives. These are not just administrative errors; these are deliberate criminal acts carried out by individuals who know the system inside and out.
