What are the light touch requirements please?

it seems some do qualify for light touch but are still having work search requirements imposed.

this needs to be challenged they are going against the rules

The relevant question here is what are your requirements as the outcome of your appointment?

You seem to spend a lot of time worried about what others are having to do but that's not really relevant to you.

You are right I want to find out what are my requirements as to the rules and if the rules have changed where is it in the updated announcements

The question is has there been a change to the light touch rules? 

Does a person on light touch have new requirements?

https://www.cas.org.uk/news/work-support-what-does-it-mean-uc-claimants#:~:text=Claimants earning above the AET,the “Working Enough” group.

Changes which came into force on the 30th January 2023 mean that in work claimants will remain in the Intensive Work Search Group until their earnings reach a new higher threshold. The new threshold is monthly earnings equal to, or less than, 15 hours per week at the National Minimum Wage for a single person, 24 hours combined for a couple. In both cases the amount is converted to a monthly amount by multiplying by 52 and dividing by 12; earnings not from employment are excluded. In effect, a single claimant earning below £617 per calendar month and couples with combined earnings below £988 per calendar month will fall into the “Intensive Work Search” group. This means that these claimants will require to attend fortnightly meetings with a Work Coach as a minimum, and will be expected to engage frequently and intensively with Jobcentre Plus.
