On Monday’s Independent R&B Discussion (13/2/23) we focused on the case R(K) vs DWP. A Universal Credit overpayment case and lesson on how administrators do not have right to exercise recovery powers, just because those powers are there. Also, the importance of publishing guidance.
We also discussed the IFS report on LHA rates and the father of LHA, our very own Yoda, Paul Howarth reminded us that the concept of LHA was different from modern LHA.
A reminder that part three of our series on Automation is tomorrow.
This week we have:
- Zoe Charlesworth, Independent Consultant, Welfare Services – How far can the UCDS be used to automate benefit take-up?
- Malcolm Gardner, Visionary Network – Automated Decision Making in Sweden’s Welfare State and
- Daniel Pearce with a TelSolutions Case Study
Last week’s session covered some great presentations on data protection and vulnerable people and some insight into Newham Council’s programme of automation.
