Jobcentres
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will estimate the average cost of travel to routine fortnightly interviews at Jobcentre Plus where claimants live more than a mile from their Jobcentre Plus office.
- Answer
-
Travel expenses are not usually reimbursed for attendance at fortnightly interviews. In exceptional circumstances there may be scope for reimbursement; however there would be a disproportionate cost to disaggregate this expenditure based on distance from Jobcentre Plus sites.
