Course compatible with claimant commitment – all work-related requirements group

If your child is in the Universal Credit (UC) all work-related requirements group, then the easements agreed for their work search and availability will need to be generous enough for them to continue with their course.  It is important to make Universal Credit aware of their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) award, if they have one.  They should also request a work capability assessment.  While they are waiting for the outcome, it is possible that they will be able to receive Universal Credit. This depends on the job coach understanding the difficulties your child’s condition or conditions will have looking for work.  If they are not awarded Universal Credit, or the award ends if they fail to be found to have Limited Capability for Work or Limited Capability for Work-Related Activity (LCW/LCWRA) you should get advice.
