JS A Two Year clause

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Please can you clarify or refute the following statement in the UC CC for JSA

"Nobody is mentioning the JSA equivalent time out clause, 24 months to find a job or you are sanctioned for one year.

That is 100% across the board sanctioning. Basically, 24 months to find a job or you are on the streets with zero support.

UC calls this conditionality, a claimant under full conditionality has a set time to find work if they are unsuccessful then they are sanctioned for 1 year. It’s one of the most dangerous aspects of UC, that has been pretty much swept under the carpet.

A fixed time to find a job – or a one-year sanction"

Yours faithfully,

G Ward
