IRRV Thames Valley Association presents a

BENEFITS SEMINAR

on 1st December 2015 hosted by Oxford City Council

The Thames Valley Executive is pleased to present a morning of topical presentations from the Benefits world including an update from the DWP on the latest position on Universal Credit, FERIS and LADS LCTS.

We will hear first-hand on how Welfare Reform / Benefit Cap and the roll out of UC are going in the busy world of Oxford City.

There will also be an opportunity to hear from a LOCTA representative regarding the effective use of their product in linking into the DWP and HMRC for overpayment recovery.

Finally we will get an update from Q2 regarding an exciting development working in partnership with the IRRV on a bench marking and resource planning tool which will be available very soon.

We are extremely grateful to our five speakers for giving their time to speak at this event and we have no doubt that the content of the morning will be exceptionally interesting and thought provoking.

The new Inspection Regime - are you ready for it?

We are fortunate to have Kevin Mercer (Head of Revenues & Benefits, Wokingham Borough Council) as our speaker for this meeting.

Wokingham BC were one of the original pilot sites to receive a KLOE inspection so Kevin will be speaking from first-hand experience of being on the receiving end of an inspection.

We would encourage Heads of Service, Senior Officers, key personnel as well as all our IRRV members to attend.

A select audience gathered at Oxford's Town Hall to hear the views of three wise men in the form of Kevin Ducksbury, Gordon Heath and Gary Watson on a variety of subjects from the new NI14 to the use of committal to the questions surrounding what is "exempt accommodation".

All the experts were on fine form and were refreshingly honest and forthright with their opinions.

Phil Adlard, Vice-President of the Thames Valley Association said afterwards:

"For the first association meeting of the TVA we were fortunate to have such a high quality panel. Those who had submitted questions either in advance or on the night weren't disappointed and many issues had been clarified.

It was an encouraging meeting and followed on from the success of the re-launch of the Association in June. We are looking to build on this with our next Association Meeting in November."
