The requirements must be reasonable and they are tailored to the claimant’s individual needs. For many of our claimants work preparation activity involves addressing their particular challenges, which can include managing their health condition. We would not ask a claimant to carry out an activity which would carry a risk to the health of the claimant, nor would we ask for a claimant to undergo medical treatment as part of their requirements. We work hard to build supportive and open relationships with our claimants so that we can agree support tailored in the most effective possible way.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 06/03/2018 16:28:21 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
