Claimants who attend will be given specific information about the benefits of switching from an online claim to a phone claim. Also, how to embark on a digital journey that could make a real difference. They will be offered a one and one appointment to complete this process. WC Note – this is a chance to encourage claimants who you believe should be benefitting from an online claim to attend for support in making the switch, even if they are dubious or worried about it. Making attendance mandatory ensures that they will receive the support they need or be considered for a sanction if not. |

Do you have claimants that have no clear plan on their future or next steps? Have you claimants who like the idea of WFH but do not know how to access it? Making attendance mandatory ensures that they will receive the support they need or be considered for a sanction if not. |
