The £63million of unclaimed benefits was generated through direct engagement with the Make the Call Wraparound Service. While referrals are received from partner organisations, the recorded outcomes reflect the Department’s direct assessment, advisory and outreach support, which led to the successful uptake of benefit entitlements.
