Question for Department for Work and Pensions

UIN 5912, tabled on 7 December 2023

No such assessment has been made.

However, we are aware that many claimants have barriers that prevent them from taking up employment. For this reason, our Work Coaches are available to give tailored support for claimants to help them to access skills and training opportunities, and career advice.
