Structured treatment for alcohol/ substance dependency syndromes

edited to say:

Reg 99 3(e) of the UC Regs:

“Circumstances in which requirements must not be imposed
99.—(1) Where paragraph (3), (4), (5) or (6) applies—

(a)the Secretary of State must not impose a work search requirement on a claimant; and
(b)“able and willing immediately to take up work” under a work availability requirement means able and willing to take up paid work, or attend an interview, immediately once the circumstances set out in paragraph (3), (4), (5) or (6) no longer apply…

3 (e) the claimant is, and has been for no more than 6 months, receiving and participating in a structured recovery-orientated course of alcohol or drug dependency treatment; “

So no work search requirements can be imposed for 6 months and you may be able to challenge the sanctions decisions if this applies and ask for the Claimant Commitments to be amended.

This is brilliant! Thank you
