Jobseekers (Back to Work Schemes) Act 2013 (2013 c 17)

The 2013 legislation was enacted to validate the legality of various back-to-work schemes and programmes implemented by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This Act aimed to mitigate the effects of the Supreme Court's ruling in Reilly and Wilson v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, which found certain regulations ultra vires. By retrospectively approving specific schemes and actions taken under them, the Act ensured that jobseekers who had participated in these programmes did not receive a refund of any previously withheld benefits. This consolidation affirmed the government's commitment to facilitating employment and reducing reliance on welfare benefits.

Quick and comprehensive access to the most accurate, up-to-date legislation.
