This research provides an overall assessment of claimant satisfaction with DWP benefit services for 10 benefits. The survey was conducted between August 2018 and May 2019. It looked at:

  • claimant satisfaction with services provided by DWP, measured against overall satisfaction and 4 areas of the customer charter (getting it right, keeping you informed, ease of access and right treatment)
  • how claimants are interacting with DWP services, including communication channels, digital access and perceptions about staff

Interviews are carried out every 3 months with around 15,000 claimants. A research report is published each year with detailed data tables and a methodological note. Read the DWP claimant service and experience survey 2017 to 2018.

The department will use the research to:

  • monitor performance of claimant satisfaction with services across benefits and inform service delivery improvements
  • measure the overall satisfaction performance indicator in the DWP single departmental plan
  • understand claimant use of digital services and different communication channels
