	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Jobcentre Plus offers a wide range of support to help claimants back into work. This includes specialist provision delivered through the Flexible Support Fund aimed at supporting vulnerable claimants with a mental health condition, learning difficulties or other disabilities. The Work Programme, Improving Access to Psychological Therapies and the Troubled Families Programme are also tailored to support families with children and people with mental health conditions.</p><p> </p><p>The decision to temporarily halt a claimant’s benefit payment is always thoroughly considered and is not something we do lightly. It is a consequence of a claimant not meeting their requirements in return for receiving the benefit without good reason. The requirements and consequences are clearly communicated with them throughout their claim and set out in their Claimant Commitment. There are a number of steps in the decision making process to ensure that our decisions are correct.<em> </em></p><p> </p><p>After being notified of the decision, claimants can apply for hardship payments<em>.</em> Vulnerable claimants can apply for hardship immediately and the majority of claims are approved.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 05/06/2015 11:20:17 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
