I have received this back after passing on the FOI reply from APR:

"Thank you, we are aware of this. Now that the DWP have broken their wall of silence, it has been confirmed that this is voluntary and people cannot be sanctioned for refusing to take part.

However, those that choose to take part are still advised to seek help from experts in benefit law so that they can make an informed choice and be aware of any potential pitfalls".

Being "called in" does not always imply that a claim is being investigated by BIO, RABITS etc.
