Client is a single parent with a child aged under 13. Child is being homeschooled by client. Client has now claimed UC. No commitments meeting yet.

Expected number of hours work searching for primary carer of child under 13 is no. of hours which is compatible with child’s normal school hours (expectation is 25).

Any ideas how this works when child is being homeschooled?

that reads to me that the work coaches will expect people to send their children to school, rather than home school…..
