Judicial Summary

When applying schedule 9 paragraph 4 to the Universal Credit Regulations 2013, a Tribunal must establish the risks arising from any work related activity a claimant might be asked to do.  That includes work related activity that might be inappropriately imposed. The least and most demanding work related activities that will actually be required of a specific claimant should be established, and the schedule 9 paragraph 4 test applied to those activities.
