Commentary on Sections
Part 1: Universal credit
Section 23: Connected requirements
83.Section 23 provides for other requirements which can be placed on claimants in connection to the four work-related requirements. Subsection (1) allows the Secretary of State to require a claimant to participate in an interview at a particular time and place. This interview may be for any purpose relating to the imposition of a requirement, verification that a requirement is being met or helping the claimant to comply.
84.Under subsection (3) a claimant may be required to confirm their compliance in a particular way and provide evidence that requirements are being met. For claimants subject to work search and work availability requirements this can be used to require them to declare on a regular basis that they are meeting all the requirements placed upon them.
85.Subsection (4) provides that claimants may be required to report certain changes of circumstance which may affect the work-related requirements that are imposed on them, or that they should become subject to, such as leaving a job.
