Emergency Maintenance Allowance : Contents
Unable to recomply
A client, who is subject to a sanction or a 13 week non-entitlement period, may not need to complete a recompliance activity if:
- they qualify for a benefit that does not have the obligations to which they must recomply
Example
A client who is subject to a sanction who develops a health condition or becomes, injured or disabled, and meets the criteria for the exemption 'would qualify for Jobseeker Support - health condition, injury or disability'. They are unable to complete a recompliance activity.
In this situation you should add the exemption reason in SWIFTT, and follow the disputes process (so that the benefit can be resumed).
For details of the requirements for a client or who has a health condition, injury or disability see:
