Staff Decision Making Guidance for Job Aides [A2W]

Dr Sam Griffin made this Freedom of Information request to Department for Work and Pensions Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request is waiting for clarification. If you are Dr Sam Griffin, please sign in to send a follow up message.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Please supply a PDF copy of the decision-making documentation -including any decision trees- provided to A2W assessors in determining the eligibility for Job Aide vs other kinds of Support Worker. [I do not mean the available short-form guidance on gov.uk].

This should be the documentation in place between September 2022 and March 31 2023. Please ensure the document is formatted to include page numbers, the official title of the decision-making document, and the date.

I appreciate this may be located in the appendices of a longer document regarding the assessment of an incoming application, in which case, please send a PDF copy of the entire document.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Sam Griffin
