Our work coaches personalise the support provided for each claimant based on individual need and circumstance. Where claimants have limitations due to a health condition or disability or because of caring responsibilities, then this is taken into account when arranging any attendance.

We will continue to offer internet access to support claimants and we are working with local authorities as part of our ongoing partnership to improve digital access and capability.
