Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what support is in place to assist Commonwealth and Windrush applicants in applying for (a) jobseeker's allowance, (b) employment and support allowance, (c) personal independent payments and (d) universal credit.

DWP officials continue to work with the Home Office and other Government bodies to help individuals affected and ensure that they are able to access the benefits and services to which they are entitled. DWP has arranged a fast-track service into the Home Office Taskforce to confirm the status of Commonwealth citizens and people from the Windrush generation who are unable to provide documentation in support of their benefit claim.
