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.
