DWP says Universal Credit Journal not mandatory for your Work Search records or CV.

DWP says Universal Credit Journal not mandatory for your Work Search records or CV.

why.

[Related: You must use a Universal Credit journal to provide your CV or Jobsearch record?]

After numerous queries on Jobcentre Work ‘Coaches’ requiring Universal Credit (UC) claimants to use their online UC account Journal to upload CV and Work Search records onto, the DWP says it is not mandatory.

thankyou refuted and also thanks for posting the reference on your website frankzola

some really good info there

Does anyone know what information your work coach/DWP can see regarding your login activity on your journal? Total number of logins, IP address, time spent logged in etc ?

They won't see anything if you refuse to use it.

Oh no, I don't use it as in; record my jobsearch on there. No chance.

Maybe I should have said Universal Credit Online Account instead of journal. Because in full service UC, it is mandatory to have the online account, the journal is just an (optional) part of it.

I login almost daily just to cover myself, check there isn't anything in my to-do list or messages from work coach. You should get an email/text to alert you to these but I like to double check. I just wanted to know if the DWP/work coach can see all my logins etc?
