Easement for Homeless Persons

Work Programme provider memo WP161 about a new easement for homeless persons. Briefly, it says that an amendment has been made to the regulations to help support homeless claimants on Jobseekers Allowance in finding sustainable living accommodation which will help to remove a barrier into employment.  The Regulations allow Jobcentre Plus to treat certain homeless claimants as meeting the jobseeking conditions for periods of longer than one week with no limit on the number of occasions on which it can be applied.  A claimant will not be required to attend the Work Programme for the duration of any easement. Download the memo from the GovUK website.
