Welfare Reform Act 2012 Explanatory Notes

Section 25: Compliance with requirements

90.Regulations under section 25 may set out the circumstances in which a person will be treated as having met or not met the requirements placed upon them. These regulations may set out, for example, the level of activity which the claimant will be required to demonstrate in order to be treated as meeting requirements (such as the time to be spent looking for work).  The regulations may also provide that where a claimant does not engage properly with the requirement (for example by being disruptive or violent in an interview or on a training course, or where a claimant’s behaviour or appearance undermines their chances of success in a job interview) they will not be treated as meeting that requirement.
