As a Carers Allowance AO, the most important part of our role is to process new

claims to benefit, action changes in circumstances and ensure our customers are

paid correctly and on time.


Our customers look after people with a severe disability and, therefore, can be

some of the most vulnerable members of the public. We approach each case with

understanding and empathy and delivering a good service is our number one goal.

We action our new claims in date order where possible, to be fair and consistent to

each of our new claimants.


As AO’s our job is to use the information provided on the claim form to make a

decision on the eligibility for Carers Allowance. In many instances further

information gathering is required and we always strive to obtain this information

directly from the customer, over the phone in the first instance. We aim to deal with

any changes in circumstances as quickly and efficiently as possible, to avoid any

disruption to the customer. We review our workload daily, taking responsibility for

the age profile of our outstanding work to ensure we are working in the most

efficient way possible.

We work flexibly to meet changing priorities and to ensure we are consistently

delivering a quality service.

We work closely with stakeholders and other benefit providers to make sure our

decisions and payments are accurate and on time.

To improve and progress, we can take advantage of the many opportunities that

arise within our business, by seeking opportunities to continuously improve

ourselves and our working practices. We confidently demonstrate an enthusiasm

to drive our own performance and take ownership of our personal development by

accessing the digital learning and support channels that are available.

We undertake regular training and upskilling to ensure we are aware of all DWP

Policies and Procedures that are relevant to our role, including adhering to

Standards of Behaviour.
