Decision Makers Guide - DMG12123

Work likely to continue

Consider whether the work which the person does during any of the prescribed weeks is likely to continue for at least five weeks beginning with the week of application. Regard the work as likely to continue unless there is evidence that, at the date of application, a decision has been made within those five weeks
1) to end the work or
2) to cut the hours below 16 hours a week

Note It is the employment which the applicant holds at the date of application which must continue, rather than the type of work

Example

The date of application is 6.6.00. The applicant is employed as a cleaner and says her job is to end on 16.6.00. She is to start work on 17.6.00 with a new employer, again as a cleaner. As the employment she holds at the date of application is not to continue for 5 weeks, the application falls for disallowance.
