How to verify your identity for Universal Credit
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-07)

If you want to claim Universal Credit you must verify your identity. This guide for claimants and people supporting them explains how to do that.

If you want to claim Universal Credit you must verify your identity. This helps to link the right person to the right claim and reduce identity fraud.

You can verify your identity by one or more of the following:
- online identity verification
- face-to-face appointments
- documentary evidence
- biographical interviews
Online identity verification

Verifying your identity online is a simple and secure way to confirm your identity.

Universal Credit no longer uses Government Gateway or GOV.UK Verify for online verification.

Evidence for online verification

You can verify your identity online by providing some information that only you would know, for example information about your passport.

You can use any 2 of the following items to verify your identity online:
- valid UK passport
- UK driving licence
- recent Self Assessment returns
- credit references or records – for example, information about credit cards or phone contracts
If you successfully verify your identity online, you may not need the full ‘initial evidence interview’.

Other ways to verify your identity

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) uses a combination of documentary evidence, interviewing and information on DWP records to verify someone’s identity. This may include attending:

face-to-face appointments

phone biographical interviews

If your appointment is face-to-face at a Jobcentre Plus, you’ll need to bring ID and proof of address (https://www.gov.uk/jobcentre-plus-interview).

Depending on your circumstances, details of what evidence you need to provide will be discussed with you when you apply for Universal Credit.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Stephenson Group Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Stephenson Group Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Police responses to domestic abuse incidents involving children
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-07)

Research on how police respond to domestic abuse incidents involving children, using surveys, interviews, and case file reviews.

This report, commissioned by the Home Office and delivered by Ipsos UK and the University of Central Lancashire, explores how frontline police officers in England and Wales respond to domestic abuse incidents involving children. The research draws on surveys, interviews, and case file reviews to examine how officers assess children’s welfare, communicate with children, complete forms, and make referrals to other agencies. The study finds that officers are committed to safeguarding children, with some variation in practice, confidence, and the guidance available. The report provides considerations around strengthening training, operational guidance, and information sharing with partner agencies to further support police responses to domestic abuse incidents involving children.

MHRA approves teplizumab to delay progression of type 1 diabetes
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-14)

As with any medicine, the MHRA will keep the safety and effectiveness of teplizumab under close review.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has today, 14 August 2025, approved teplizumab (Tzield) to delay the onset of Stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) by an average of three years in adults and children aged 8 years and older with Stage 2 T1D. Teplizumab is the UK’s first-ever approved immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes.

Stage 3 T1D is when people usually begin to experience blood sugar problems and are diagnosed with the condition, which often requires lifelong insulin treatment.

Teplizumab is used in people with Stage 2 T1D, which is an earlier stage of the disease where individuals are at high risk of progressing to Stage 3.

This medicine has been approved through the International Recognition Procedure (IRP). The IRP allows the MHRA to take into account the expertise and decision-making of trusted regulatory partners for the benefit of UK patients.

Teplizumab is administered via intravenous infusion once daily for 14 days.

The MHRA conducts a targeted assessment of IRP applications and retains the authority to reject applications if the evidence provided is not considered sufficiently robust.

A full list of side effects can be found in the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) or the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), available on the MHRA website within 7 days of approval.

As with any medicine, the MHRA will keep the safety and effectiveness of teplizumab under close review.

Anyone who suspects they are having a side effect from this medicine is encouraged to talk to their doctor, pharmacist or nurse and report it directly to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme, either through the website (https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/) or by searching the Google Play or Apple App stores for MHRA Yellow Card.

Notes to editors

The approval was granted on 14 August 2025 to Aventis Pharma Limited.

This product was submitted and approved via the International Recognition Procedure.

More information can be found in the Summary of Product Characteristics and Patient Information leaflets which will be published on the MHRA Products website (https://products.mhra.gov.uk/) within 7 days of approval.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for regulating all medicines and medical devices in the UK by ensuring they work and are acceptably safe. All our work is underpinned by robust and fact-based judgements to ensure that the benefits justify any risks.

The MHRA is an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care.

PM statement on Gaza peace deal: 9 October 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-08)

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's statement on the Gaza peace deal.

I welcome the news that a deal has been reached on the first stage of President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

This is a moment of profound relief that will be felt all around the world, but particularly for the hostages, their families, and for the civilian population of Gaza, who have all endured unimaginable suffering over the last two years.

I am grateful for the tireless diplomatic efforts of Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye and the United States, supported by our regional partners, in securing this crucial first step. This agreement must now be implemented in full, without delay, and accompanied by the immediate lifting of all restrictions on life-saving humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We call on all parties to meet the commitments they have made, to end the war, and to build the foundations for a just and lasting end to the conflict and a sustainable path to a long-term peace. The UK will support these crucial immediate steps and the next stage of talks to ensure the full implementation of the peace plan.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We FRFA First Response First Aid Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 FRFA First Response First Aid Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
