Most DWP services are available in Welsh without the need for a request, via the online services provided by the Department through GOV.UK :

Jobseekers Allowance Online

Carer’s Allowance

Access to Work

Reporting Benefit Fraud

Universal Jobmatch

Budgeting Loan

Find a Lost Pension

Check Your State Pension

State Pension Online

Tell Us Once

An Online complaints portal, to allow customers to raise any complaints about Jobseekers Allowance or Universal Credit, is also available in Welsh from the DWP corporate pages on GOV.UK.

Universal Credit can be claimed online in English. We are planning a Welsh Language solution due in 2018. In the interim, Universal Credit can be claimed in Welsh over the telephone via our Service Centres.
