Jobcentre Plus is an agency of the Department for Work and Pensions, created by combining the old Benefits Agency with Jobcentres. The Jobcentre Plus system introduced a new culture for benefit claimants, in which most people have to attend a work focused interview in order to receive benefit. 

The benefits covered by Jobcentre Plus are:

Bereavement Benefits
Employment and Support Allowance
Incapacity Benefit
Income Support
Industrial Injuries Benefit
Jobseekers Allowance
Maternity Allowance
Severe Disablement Allowance
Social Fund
