State support and coronavirus - a trade union guide (June 2020)

Chapter 4

Commitments linked to New Style JSA

[ch 4: page 46]

The work-related requirements for New Style JSA claimants are the same as those for Universal Credit claimants who do not have limited capability for work.

The details of what the claimant must do to meet their work-related requirements and the consequences of not doing so, are set out in a Claimant Commitment, which the claimant must accept as a condition of entitlement. However, face-to-face appointments to agree a Claimant Commitment have been suspended until at least 19 June 2020 because of the coronavirus outbreak.
