The Department for Work and Pensions

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is a UK government agency responsible for managing welfare and social security programs. Its role includes providing financial support to those who are unemployed, disabled, or retired, and overseeing programs like pensions, Jobseeker’s Allowance, and Universal Credit. The DWP aims to help people find work, promote financial independence, and ensure that social security benefits are fairly distributed. It also works with other government departments and organizations to support employment, reduce poverty, and improve social welfare policies.
