Post Office Launches New Cash Delivery Option

Post Office Launches New Cash Delivery Option

The Post Office has announced that they are making cash delivery payments available to the DWP to use to support their most vulnerable customers, initially in England, who are shielding because of the risk of infection should they leave their home.

The National Shielding Service is working in partnership with the DWP enabling contact to be made with specific customers to determine if they need a cash payment delivered to their home.

When notified by the DWP of those individuals who require a cash delivery, the Post Office will ensure cash is sent to their home using the Royal Mail Special Delivery and that it arrives by 9pm the following day. This means that those individuals who must avoid leaving the home because of the risk of infection receive the cash that they need.

This new cash delivery option has initially been made available to Post Office Card Account (POca) customers who are shielding at home and are the most at risk from the virus.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
