What is the WP intensive regime?If he started the WP then the 2 year period is a 2 year period-it doesn't reset.He should now return to the jobcentre as a WP completer and will probably fall under the jobcentre 'business as usual' programe and not their ' mandatory intensive regime' as he has recent work experience.We’ve had to remove your signature.

What is the WP intensive regime?
WP completers either return to the JCP under 2 schemes-'business as usual' for customers with recent with experience or intensive regime, meaning weekly signing as a minimum or even more frequent i.e. daily signing, a stricter jobseekers agreement re-written and staff enforcing it and referring for DMA where appropriate and a general tightening up of enforcing the JSA regime.
Also referring claimants to a mandatory training course or work placement straight away at the 1st meeting.0 -
