Challenge

DWP wanted to improve the administration of the Employment and Support Allowance scheme, managing claims over the phone.

Solution

BT has implemented an IP Contact Centre solution in 64 of the 81 Benefit Delivery Centres across the country.

Value

The solution provides a foundation for new ways of working to improve claim handling efficiency and reduce costs.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) introduced a new Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) scheme, under which people previously entitled to incapacity benefits would be assessed on their ability for work rather than what they could not do. The aim? To get people who could work back into employment, while supporting those who can not.
