Updated: Revised DMG volume 10 chapter 59 - clarifies guidance at paragraph 59012.

This guidance is for DWP staff who make decisions about benefits and pensions. It helps them make decisions that are accurate and consistent.

The introduction of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment affects the guidance DWP staff use.

DWP decision makers now use Advice for decision making (instead of the DMG) for decisions that involve:

Universal Credit Personal Independence Payment new style Jobseeker’s Allowance and new style Employment and Support Allowance, which are for people who are eligible for Universal Credit and are based on their National Insurance record Why we publish this guide

We publish this guide to help people understand how we make decisions.
