Who we are

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is the biggest delivery department in Government. We lead the Government’s welfare, pension and child support reform agendas. We help people to find jobs and employers to fill vacancies. We make payments to jobseekers, pensioners, disabled people, parents and carers.

Most people will usually come into contact with the Department through one of our businesses:

• Jobcentre Plus
• The Pension Service, Disability and Carers Service
• Debt Management

• Our customer delivery businesses
• Our vision, aims and values
