  their goal will be to get paid work, more work or better paid work as quickly as possible
  they will be expected to take up a full time job - a claimant is not required to take
employment which requires them to work for more hours than the European Working Time
Directive which is up to 48 hours per week (for claimants aged 18 and over) or 40 hours per
week ( for claimants aged 16/17 years)

So it looks like if you were offered a job that was up to 48 hours per week then you would be required to accept it (unless the DWP did not know that you were offered it, and there was no way they could find out ). Take care out there.

The over-arching rule to remember when claiming UC is:

The DM should decide whether the claimant has good reason for relying on UC.

I think under such a bland statement DWP work coaches are going to have a field day.
