The Benefits Agency was the largest of the Executive Agencies of the Department of Social Security (DSS) which later became part of the Department for Works and Pensions. It was set up under the Next Steps programme, and launched on 10 April 1991. The Agency is responsible for the accurate and secure administration of Social Security benfits from receipt of claim to payment, including the giving of advice and the preparation of benefit reviews and appeals. The Benefits Agency was formed of the benefits administration and payment sections of the Benefits and Records Division of DSS, along with the Social Security Medical Division and the regional offices of the department. |
