Department for Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 23 October 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to remove restrictions on work-related benefits.
Tax Credits and other work related benefits such as JSA are part of the old system that placed restrictions on when people could claim those benefits. Universal Credit has already started to remove these restrictions - it makes it easier for claimants to move into work, and increase their hours of work until they can be financially independent.
