Details
The Social Security Advisory Committee’s letter explains its views on certain draft Universal Credit regulations. The regulations set out a number of additional easements from work-search conditionality for cases where:
- a child has been exposed to circumstances that have caused distress
- there is a clear need for the responsible carer to provide sustained support and attention
The Minister for Welfare Reform has provided the government’s response to the committee’s observations.
