It is important to note that individuals are not required to tell Jobcentre Plus the reason for ending their claim and a significant minority of off-flows are to unknown destinations. This is likely to include some of those who left JSA because they reached state pension age.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 10/11/2014 14:42:08 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

We are currently trialling a variety of different approaches following a public call for ideas in 2013, in order to learn what kind of support is most effective.
