work for your benefit schemes: unenforceable

Benefit sanctions cannot be lawfully awarded to participants refusing to work

If lawfully set to attend a workfare scheme, Jobcentre Plus cannot force a claimant of Jobseekers Allowance to engage in performing labour for their Jobseekers Allowance benefit payments. If a jobseeker chooses to observe (thus not failing to attend or refusing the scheme entirely) he or she cannot be punished for not earning his or hers benefit as it isn't a condition of claiming Jobseekers Allowance to do so.
