Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claimants in Glasgow South West constituency were refused benefits due to the lack of access to an online resource to complete their claim in the last 12 months.

Claimants are not refused benefits due to lack of access to an online resource with which to complete their claim. DWP offers free access to online resources within all Jobcentres. Where a customer does not have access to an online resource at home, we encourage use of our public access terminals, and also suggest other available free online resources to customers in local libraries or local partner organisations.
