Part 1: Universal credit

Section 22: Claimants subject to all work-related requirements

78.Section 22 provides that a claimant may be subject to all work-related requirements if they do not fall into one of the previous three groups. Except in prescribed circumstances a person in this group must always be subject to the requirements to search for work under section 17 and be available for work under section 18. This is similar to the entitlement conditions that JSA claimants must currently meet.
