Most interview questions can be easily answered by performing your research on your potential employer prior your interview, and getting a head start on your onboarding. Not only does this demonstrate that you care by investing time in preparation, but it also demonstrates a strong work ethic. For example, here is what the DWP says are the primary responsibilities; "Encouraging people to work and making work pay. Encouraging disabled people and those with ill health to work and be independent. Providing a decent income for people of pension age and promoting saving for retirement.
