claimant commitment timetable - which offices, when?
Hello
claimant commitment will be rolled out to 100 JC offices per month.
Does anyone know which offices and when it will be introduced?
thank you
I wrote to DWP on this matter and received a phone call from a really nice person, but the essence of the reply was that I should ask my local JC+ on a ‘liaison’ basis. Trans: they don’t know yet(?) But the CC is for new JSA claimants only, there are no plans to extend to existing claims and no plans to extend to IS or ESA.
What the real point of it is remains a tad obscure too…..
Hi
Yes, it seems the best way to find out for your area is from your local/regional liaison JC+ contact. So i have just found out the proposed timetable for Newcastle Jobcentres:
Newcastle East - 1st December 2013
Newcastle West - 1st January 2014
Newcastle City - 1st March 2014
These dates may be subject to change. Also, the Claimant Commitment will only apply to claimants making a new claim and those returning from the Work Programme. There are no current plans to apply it to current claimants.
