Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to his Written Statement of 27 February 2023 on Additional Jobcentre Support – Pilot rollout, HCWS582, what assessment he has made of the affordability of travel for claimants to attend daily one to one work search conversations with work coaches as part of the Additional Jobcentre Support pilot.
Claimants will be reimbursed for additional travel costs to Jobcentre appointments, over and above their weekly/fortnightly attendance, during the two-week period of intensive support.
