Fact-Checking Policy

At AdventuresInOurVan, we are committed to delivering accurate, trustworthy, and up-to-date information about UK government schemes including DWP, PIP, Universal Credit, and related support programs. Our readers rely on us for clarity and guidance, so fact-checking is at the core of everything we publish.

Below is an overview of how we ensure the integrity of our content

Commitment to Accuracy

Every article published on AdventuresInOurVan is reviewed to ensure factual accuracy. We cross-reference all information against official government publications, publicly available updates, and reliable data sources before publication. Where applicable, we include specific details such as payment amounts, eligibility rules, and schedule changes.

Independent Verification

Our editorial team independently verifies:

  • Benefit thresholds and payment dates
  • Policy announcements from government departments (like DWP or HMRC)
  • Eligibility criteria for schemes such as PIP or Universal Credit
  • Legislative changes affecting pensioners, carers, and low-income households

We do not publish unverified claims or rely solely on social media for information.

Content Review and Updates

Because government policies and benefit programs are subject to change, we regularly review and update our existing content. Any significant updates (e.g., revised payment timelines or new eligibility criteria) are added promptly with a clear indication that the article has been updated.

Error Corrections

We take reader feedback seriously. If a factual error is brought to our attention, our team investigates the claim and corrects the article as quickly as possible. Any major corrections are acknowledged at the bottom of the relevant page to maintain transparency.

Editorial Independence

We maintain full editorial independence in choosing the stories we cover. Our fact-checking process is free from political or commercial influence. We prioritize reader interest and accuracy over any form of sponsored content or third-party bias.

Clear Language and Context

Facts are presented in a straightforward, jargon-free manner. We always aim to provide the necessary context around government announcements so that users understand what a policy means for them, not just what it says.

No AI-Only Content

All information undergoes human review. While we may use tools to assist in gathering data or structuring content, no article is published without human verification and approval.
