Commentary on Sections Part 2: Working-age benefits Section 45: Interviews
227.Subsection (1) of section 45 amends section 8 of JA 1995, which allows the Secretary of State to require a claimant to attend at a certain time and place. The section amends this so that the Secretary of State may require a claimant to participate in an interview in other ways so allowing interviews to be conducted remotely.
