Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Can DWP provide any legal or policy information that permits advisers to apply pressure/encourage claimants to enter into new Jobseeker Agreements/Claimant Commitments without providing full disclosure on all the major points of the new contract and, include:

a) the use of Universal Jobmatch / entry into the Work Programme / other employment training.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Ms Sanderson
