Holiday abroad with appointee lcwra

This seems overly controlling to inform UC of every plan to spend time outside of the UK, especially when you do not have work commitments. Someone with LCWRA or fully working on UC does not need to inform anyone they are going abroad unless it is for longer than 1 month. The guidance clearly stipulates that you need to inform “your work coach” if you plan on going abroad (regardless of the time period) due to having work commitments. People that do not fit that criteria and who are following the law by not exceeding the 1 month limit are in no way "required” to inform the government of every single plan to leave the country. It would have been explicitly known and every applicant would have been informed during the application process. Anything that will affect your specific claim needs to be reported (for obvious reasons) not something that is “disregarded”. It seems the information is being requested and pushed for to ultimately to track everyone’s livelihood, unnecessarily. If the information was so important then it would be accessed from the Home Office.

How many full time workers are on foreign holidays for months per year? I would clamp down hard on such practices.

That's a bit of a leap I feel. Why would they be telling you what you can or can't buy? If they started that they'd ruin the economy, it doesn't make any sense.

That doesn't make any sense, they have to care about the economy, it's what keeps them rich
