If you are employed:
If you are having problems getting your manager to sign your claim from (DP222), because of Coronavirus, then you can send your claim form to AtW without it being signed. You can do this for any work that was done on or after 13th September 2019.
There are three ways you can do this.
First way:
1) Complete your claim form (without the manager's signature).
2) Write on the claim form "Additional evidence is being sent by email". You must do this.
3) Contact your employer, and ask them to email AtW directly, saying that they can confirm (agree) the information on your claim form is correct. Your employer must send that email to: ATW.CONTINGENCY@DWP.GOV.UK. (Ask your employer to CC you in to that email, so you know it has been sent).
4) Post your completed claim form to AtW as normal.
Second way:
1) Complete your claim form (without the manager's signature).
2) Write on the claim form "Additional evidence is being sent by email". You must do this.
3) Contact your employer ask them to email you, saying that they can confirm (agree) the information on your claim form is correct. You can then forward your employer's email to: ATW.CONTINGENCY@DWP.GOV.UK
4) Post your completed claim form to AtW as normal.
Third way:
1) Complete your claim form (without the manager's signature).
2) DeafATW suggests you write on the claim form "Additional evidence is attached".
3) Contact your employer ask them to email you, saying that they can confirm (agree) the information on your claim form is correct. Print their email out.
4) Attach your employer's email to your claim form.
5) Post your completed claim form and your employers' printed email to AtW as normal.
If you are self-employed:
You can do the same as above. But instead of your employer, email the Support Worker / interpreter, and ask them to email AtW directly.
If you can't post your claim form:
In the AtW Factsheet posted 12/5/20 it says that if you can't post your claim form you should contact your AtW adviser and ask them how you can email your claim form to AtW.
