Universal Credit - Permitted Period, same as JSA?

Hello,

Sorry if I’m missing it anywhere obvious but can’t seem to find out.

Does anyone know if the 13 weeks ‘permitted period’ in JSA (“claimants with a ‘usual occupation’ are allowed a permitted period of up to 13 weeks when they can restrict their availability to the work they usually do and at levels of pay they would normally receive”) applies to UC for job seekers?

Thank you

Reg 97 UC regs - (4) Where a claimant has previously carried out work of a particular nature, or at a particular level of remuneration, a work search requirement and a work availability requirement must be limited to work of a similar nature, or level of remuneration, for such period as the Secretary of State considers appropriate, but only if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the claimant will have reasonable prospects of obtaining paid work in spite of such limitation.
(5) The limitation in paragraph (4) is to apply for no more than 3 months beginning with—
(a)the date of claim; or
(b)if later, the date on which the claimant ceases paid work after falling within section 19 of the Act by virtue of regulation 90 (claimants subject to no work-related requirements - the earnings thresholds)

Thanks Andrew, so it is still there and seems pretty similar to the JSA rules.

Cheers
