DWP has launched a new website, to help people understand what Universal Credit means for them.

Understanding Universal Credit was created in response to requests from customers and partner organisations for more information about Universal Credit.

The site helps people find out what benefits they should be claiming, and provides more detail about how Universal Credit (UC) can help them move into, or progress in work.  There is also a section for organisations who advise their customers about Universal Credit.

With clear content and easy to follow navigation, this site will be a valuable source of information for both customers and organisations.

Customers should still continue to claim Universal Credit via GOV.UK .  There are links to this page and support for how to fill out the claim form on the new Understanding Universal Credit website.

I am an assistant producer with Peninsula Television and we are making a documentary for CBS, UK, about the Christopher Scott case. He raped two girls in 1992 but despite an extensive media appeal he was never caught until 2017, thanks to the extensive and patient investigation by Nottinghamshire Police and advancements in DNA. Our programme focuses on how great detective work paired with the use of forensic sciences solved this case.

I am looking to get in touch with the police officers who were part of the original investigation teams but as it was in the 90s it is difficult to find their names. We would really like to interview them for the documentary. Their persistent investigation led to Christopher Scott’s conviction.

The case was covered on Crimewatch in 1992 and 2008.

if anyone comes back to you, please ask them to email me with their phone number  and I can call them to chat through the details. We are aiming to film the documentary in two weeks.

Many Thanks,

Daisy

For Members of the Police Federation Group Insurance Scheme, not the NARPO Travel Scheme

I offer this as a bit of info that members may not be aware of with reference to the group insurance scheme run via the Fed and Narpo via Philip Williams insurance. This concerning the travel insurance element. I have just checked with them directly concerning a forthcoming holiday I am taking. If you have pre-existing medical conditions the only reason you have to now inform them they tell me is:

1. If a doctor has advised you not to travel abroad.
2. If you have been diagnosed with a terminal condition or illness.

I just thought this might be of use to others, who like me wonder where they stand.
