Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what targets her Department has for moving claimants onto jobseeker's allowance from other allowances and benefits.

There are no Departmental targets for moving people onto Jobseeker’s Allowance from other allowances and benefits. Every benefit claim is considered on its merits, and decisions are made based on the available evidence and the legislation according to which such decisions are made.
