People with disabilities and carers

If you have a disability or are a carer, you will be deemed to have good reason for giving up a job or not accepting a job offer if the travelling time would be unreasonable given your caring responsibilities or your health. In the first 13 weeks of your JSA claim you would have good reason for not accepting a job offer if the travelling time to work is more than one hour each way. After 13 weeks you would only have good reason if the travelling time was more than one and a half hours each way.
