DWP - Jobcentre Plus say they are expanding their service offer in jobcentres, a point already covered here at the ABC.
Working with local managers the DWP aim to start expanding their service offer in jobcentres to help get Britain back into work. Work Coaches are calling claimants – no one needs to contact Jobcentre Plus.
Jobcentre Plus say they do not want to sanction anyone. These are difficult, uncertain times for many people and the DWP say they want to do everything they can to help people them find work or increase hours, where that is possible for them. No sanction will be used until the claimant has an up-to-date Claimant Commitment in place. After that, a sanction will only be used where a claimant has not provided good reason for meeting the agreed requirements in the Claimant Commitment. Claimants who are shielding, have childcare responsibilities because of COVID restrictions, etc. will have their Claimant Commitment tailored to reflect their circumstances and will not be asked to do anything unreasonable.
