DWP Universal Credit change will see over 100,000 claimants pressured to get a job

New Universal Credit rules coming into effect in September will see thousands of claimants pressured to find work.

For those applying for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefit, the Administration Earnings Threshold (AET) refers to the minimum amount you need to be earning to avoid being placed into the Intensive Work Search regime.

Claimants that earn less than this threshold, including those with a health condition that does not impede their ability to work, are required to go to mandatory face-to-face work search reviews.
