The template is designed for people with health conditions.

From today, conditionality is reintroduced for UC claimants, and for new claimants who lost their jobs because of Covid 19, it means accepting a Claimant Commitment. It sets out what you have agreed with your DWP work coach in terms of work availability and job search. The Claimant Commitment should be personalised and reflect any limitation due to illness or disability. The following template is here to help you to do just that, in asking DWP to take these limitations into consideration, and in highlighting the health risks of being mandated to undertake inappropriate activities.

Many thanks to Nick Dilworth @Mylegalforum for drafting this template letter
