Description

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is the UK's largest public service department and is responsible for welfare, pensions, and child maintenance policy. The Department is responsible for administering the State Pension and a range of working age, disability, and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants. The DWP operates on a scale that is almost unrivalled anywhere in Europe, and most people in Great Britain will encounter the DWP at some point in their lives.

The DWP delivers its services through a leasehold Estate, operating over 800 properties nationally. This includes job centres, assessment centres, corporate centres, and service centres. The DWP Estate is geographically dispersed and has a large footprint on UK high streets as it requires a local presence.
