That used to be the predominant case but they have tightened it now, the Guvmin has just dished out a contract to REED (who have then subcontracted to multiple others) to get the long term receivers of UC (over 6 months) who are fit and capable of work back into work. Said third parties are also directly capable of implementing sanctions (via DWP) on those people who refuse to attend training, employment coaching, refuse to perform job searches at centres, refuse to attend interviews.

TBF it USED to be they could get away with that... as i said, significantly tightened now.
