The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is responsible for welfare, pensions and child maintenance policy. As the UK’s biggest public service department it administers the State Pension and a range of working age, disability and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants and customers.
The Pensions Commission has published its interim report on the state of retirement saving in the UK, setting out the key challenges facing the current system and where it will focus its work next.
