Section 14: Claimant commitment
66.The responsibilities a claimant has to meet, including relevant work-related requirements, may be recorded in the claimant commitment, as set out in section 14. The commitment may be updated and changed as necessary. To be entitled to universal credit, a claimant will normally need to accept a claimant commitment when they claim and whenever the commitment is changed.
67.Information that may be recorded in the claimant commitment, in addition to any work-related requirements, includes any information prescribed in regulations under subsection (4) or any other information specified by the Secretary of State. This may, for example, include the general duty to report changes of circumstance which affect the claimant’s entitlement or rate of award.
