Work Programme latest version (16) Dated March 2017

It appears that the latest WP guidance has now been published:-

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/work-programme-dwp-provider-guidance


There appears to be a new category that had not previously come to my attention   .

JSA repeaters, those who have claimed JSA for 22 months out of the previous 24, will now be required to join the WP after 3 months of pre WP activity.

Does anyone know if this category is actually new, or if it previously existed and I missed it  

Cheers

you can still find previous dwp guidance through the wdtk site when other guidance has been issued during requests for info however they do seem to lose the link after a period of time

I've just read online that there are no more referrals to the WP after March 2017?

So I wonder why they have provided new guidance, dated March 2017. This is so odd.

Where did you read this please?
