Are CWO's about to be abolished?

    After a successful pilot and the introduction of HAP (Housing Assistance Payment) next year with local councils taking over the administration of rent subsidy to low income earners from The CWO in health centres, is this a means to reduce the usefulness of the CWO's and therefore an excuse to abolish the position altogether to save costs?

    Is the renaming of the CWO job to "Representative of the DSP" another easing of their role into the general administration of the DSP?

    Reductions have already been made to the service with many smaller centres amalgamated into DSP offices and HAP seems to me to be an opportunity to amalgamate the rest of them.

    Countries like the UK do not have CWO's. Politicians will not have failed to notice this.

    Well SW will soon no longer have any interest in rent supplement as it will no longer exist.
    LAs are to have sole responsible for those unable to house themselves.

    Yes I know that. The question is...

    Will they now abolish the job of CWO?
