A number of DWP processes use automation which comes under the scope of Art 22(1) UK-GDPR for some decisions. These processes form part of the following DWP services:

  • Warm Home Discount Scheme
  • Get Your State Pension
  • Apply for Pension Credit
  • Pension Credit Extra Amount for Severe Disability
  • New Style Jobseekers Allowance
  • Cost of Living Payments
  • Seasonal Payments
  • Bereavement Support Payments
  • Budgeting Loans Automation

Artificial Intelligence is not used in any of these processes.
