Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what guidance he plans to issue to officials of his Department to aid them in deciding whether a full-time carer should be placed in the no work-related requirements conditionally group under regulation 89(b) of the Universal Credit Regulations.

Our staff already have access to guidance to aid them in making decisions of this kind. We are undertaking a current review to ensure that appropriate guidance is given to ensure that all carers are placed in the appropriate conditionality group.
