Everyone needs to sign a claimant commitment, whether or not subject to conditionality, unless an exception applies. The exception in reg 16(b) is that a claimant does not need to sign a commitment in “exceptional circumstances”. ADM J1026 tells us that terminal illness is likely to be one of those “exceptional circumstances”.
