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, whether claimants will be reimbursed travel costs for the one to one job centre appointments they are asked to attend in a two week period.

Claimants can request to be reimbursed for additional travel costs to Jobcentre appointments, over and above their weekly/fortnightly attendance, during the two-week period of intensive support. This follows usual processes.
