<p>Where a Jobseeker’s Allowance claimant is required to participate in a Jobcentre
course, they are given information, verbally and in writing, which includes details
about the course itself, what they are required to do by way of participation, and
whether they are still required to attend the Jobcentre and meet their benefit conditions
whilst attending the course.</p><p> </p><p>There are some circumstances where DWP
can excuse a person from the requirement to sign on, in order to enable them to participate
in a course. This includes those claimants who are participating as a full-time student
on an employment related course for a maximum of two weeks.</p><p> </p><p>However,
in the majority of cases, claimants will be expected to sign on whilst participating
in a course. Where conflicting appointments/course times arise, we make every effort
to re-arrange claimants’ signing on arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>If the decision is
that the claimant is to continue attending the Jobcentre and the claimant fails to
do so, without having a good reason, their benefit may be sanctioned.</p>
