53. Work Coaches are required to consider the individual circumstances of claimants involved in the pilot, including caring responsibilities, mental and physical health, travel to work, and skills and motivation in agreeing a Claimant Commitment. The Minister told us that as in-work conditionality “is much more focused on the individual” than for out of work claimants, inappropriate conditions and financial sanctions would not be imposed.

From the Work and Pensions Committee report on in-work conditionality.
