The Jobseeker’s Allowance (Domestic Violence) (Amendment) Regulations 2012
These Regulations amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (the JSA Regulations) to enable certain victims of domestic violence who are claiming a jobseeker’s allowance to be treated as being available for and actively seeking employment, and as having a jobseeker’s agreement (if they do not have one already). This will be the case for an initial period of 4 weeks and then, on production of relevant evidence, for a 13 week period, beginning on the date of the initial notification.
