Plans to process all benefits claims by end of 2028

Treasury Minister Alex Allinson says he's hoping all benefits claims can be processed online by the end of 2028.

He faced a question for written reply from Douglas South MHK Sarah Maltby about the timetable for the government's digitisation of benefits and pensions.

In response, Dr Allinson said a large amount of back-end work had already been done - with Incapacity Benefit and Income Support claims online.

But he added Jobseeker's and Disability Living Allowance should be online by 2027, with Attendance Allowance, Carer's Allowance and Manx State Pension claims a year later.
