Anyone heard of this?

I believe it is a secret list held by the DWP for LA advisors or HB staff

HB G5/2013 describes the list, and its expansion to include staff from Blue Badge, Fairer Charging/Financial Assessment Teams, and Local Welfare Provision (in addition to LA staff as previously), who may now access DWP claimant data without their consent.

Oh…that blessed Apollo List…If I only had a £1.00 coin for every time I’ve been asked by the DWP if I’m on the Apollo List I could have retired by now..

One day I am going to tell them I am on the Apollo List and see if it makes any difference (we’re not, unfortunately, as we’re not LA affiliated).

Next time you’re asked, ask them what has the Greek God of music, poetry, art, oracles, archery, plague, medicine, sun, light and knowledge got to do with it.  Go on.  I dare ya!

It should be the Penia list - goddess/spirit of poverty and need.

I presume the word ‘penury’ comes from this.

Or The Dickens list…..?

The Oliver Twist list….?

The Orwell list (for two different reasons)?

sorry. I’ll go and do some work.
