Guidance on HOW to add pinned notes /flags to Universal Credit cases

The request was successful.

Glenys Harriman

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Please provide any training notes or guidance to DWP staff on the actual procedure of pinning a note to a claimant's Universal Credit account to indicate complex needs, and on how to add a 'flag' on complex needs.
Also if 'watermarks' can be added (as with PIP) how they do that.
Also any guidance notes or training materials on finding these pins/flags/watermarks.

Thank you

Yours faithfully,

Glenys Harriman

Some people might be interested in this judgment concerning Errol Graham who starved to death in June 2018:

He was claiming ESA and did not attend a WCA.

Reference is made to a Mental Health flag at paragraph 21 and to "core visits" at paragraph 22.
