Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will place in the Library of the House a copy of the guidance issued to Jobcentre Plus staff regarding tailored conditionality for claimants applying for Jobseeker's Allowance while awaiting a mandatory reconsideration decision on their Employment and Support Allowance claim.

The Jobcentre Plus guidance that covers this subject area is the: Labour Market Conditions Guide (availability and actively seeking work section); ESA to JSA Transitions Guide; and Claimant Commitment guidance. These will be placed in the Library of the House as requested.

It should be noted, however, that all Jobseeker’s Allowance claimants should have their conditionality tailored to their individual personal circumstances regardless of their reasons for claiming.
