Universal Credit
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment he has made of the ability of claimants to afford to travel to their Job Centre Plus for daily appointments.
- Answer
-
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.
Claimants can request to be reimbursed for additional travel costs to Jobcentre appointments, over and above their weekly/fortnightly attendance, during the two-week period of intensive support using the flexible support fund. This follows our usual process.
