The Support walker role is a key development.
Currently attending Jobcentre providing leaflets the role is to be there for the Job seer benefit claiment to see if solutions can be found to issues that might have come up. Already John has been asked to act as a support worker for one person going through a sanction interview The stress can be a major issue as can the concerns you might have after an interview.
You may be facing challenges with your benefit claim. It might be an issue of filling the claim or understanding the language in a letter

At present this is purely a voluntary role but we are seeking donations as well as grants to fund the role which would be nice if t could be rolled out around the country
Sanctions
An example of the reseach work being undertaken
When the Welfare Reform Bill was published in February 2011, non-compliance of the following would lead to sanctions if claimants:
- Fail for no good reason to comply with a requirement to undertake a work placement of a prescribed description;
- Fail for no good reason to comply with a requirement to apply for a particular vacancy for paid work;
- Fail for no good reason to comply with a work availability requirement by not taking up an offer of paid work;
- By reason of misconduct, or voluntarily and for no good reason, ceases paid work or loses pay
Summary of the Bill
The Bill provides for the introduction of a 'Universal Credit' to replace a range of existing means-tested benefits and tax credits for people of working age, starting from 2013. The Bill follows the November 2010 White Paper, 'Universal Credit: welfare that works', which set out the Coalition Government’s proposals for reforming welfare to improve work incentives, simplify the benefits system and tackle administrative complexity.
Besides introducing Universal Credit and related measures, the Bill makes other significant changes to the benefits system.
