Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Written Ministerial Statement of 27 February 2023 on Additional Jobcentre Support: Pilot rollout, HCWS582, what estimate he has made of the number of claimants who will be required to undertake enhanced daily work-focused support.
This question was answered on 7th March 2023
The eligibility criteria are designed to focus this support on claimants who are able to start work but struggling to find work or increase their earnings. Vulnerable claimants, and those whose circumstances prevent them from being available for work are not required to participate.
