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 steps his Department plans to take to make adjustments for people who are unable to attend face-to-face appointments.

To ensure that claimants can attend these appointments our Work Coaches will continue to tailor support based on the claimant’s needs and the eligibility criteria set for the pilot. The Flexible Support Fund can assist with additional travel costs when requested, following our usual process.
