Two appellants have argued successfully that the Government’s back to work schemes were legally flawed.
Caitlin Reilly, who did voluntary work at a museum as she was interested in getting into the sector, was advised she would lose her Job Seekers Allowance if she did not undertake unpaid work at Poundland.
