Use this template to challenge DWP’s refusal of a new claim universal credit (UC) advance when your client is a survivor of domestic abuse who previously received UC as a couple with the perpetrator of the abuse, is treated as having made a new claim as a single claimant, and DWP has been informed that your client's ex-partner took the final couple payment of UC leaving your client with no money until the end of their first UC assessment period as a single claimant.
Use this template to challenge the DWP's failure to make enquiries when your client has explained why they are unable to provide the evidence requested to prove their right to reside and that evidence would be available to the DWP on request from HMRC or the Home Office.
Use this template to challenge DWP's unreasonable delay in deciding your client's claim for universal credit (UC) when the DWP has already decided that your client satisfies the habitual residence test.
