UK Government (DWP): Right to try - Regulations on Volunteering for Jobseekers
Created: 18/09/2026News/Events Category: Employability
This item will show under the following categories: Volunteering
UK Government's Right to Try strengthens existing regulations so that undertaking work or volunteering will not, on its own, lead to a reassessment of a benefit award.
Right to Try applies to people who get:
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Universal Credit (UC) who have been assessed as having Limited Capability for Work (LCW) or Limited Capability for Work Related Activity (LCWRA)
- New Style Employment and Support Allowance (New Style ESA) who have been placed in the Work Related Activity Group or the Support Group
It also applies to people who receive both UC and New Style ESA and have a single LCW or LCWRA assessment outcome.
