Q&A

Precious D

Are you affected by conditionality, and what does this mean for you?

According my circumstances (I am a single parent bringing 5 children all on my own in the UK) the DWP expects me to work full-time.

So there is that pressure on me to ensure that I work enough hours if I want a benefit top-up. This is fair however I feel that benefit system can be very rigid and fails to take into account people's personal circumstances adequately.
