A drafted statement based on my circumstances

Here's a template to help you draft your statement for the commitment review:

Dear [Job Centre Advisor's Name],
I am writing to provide information regarding my current circumstances and responsibilities as a full-time homeschooling educator and caregiver to my four children.
- Homeschooling Responsibilities: I homeschool three children full-time, providing daily instruction and support tailored to their individual educational needs. This involves planning lessons, managing educational resources, and ensuring they meet their learning objectives.
- Daily Schedule: My day is structured around the educational requirements of my children, including lesson preparation, teaching, and assessments. This schedule limits my availability for external work commitments.
- Challenges: As a single income household, with my husband’s income reduced, and the necessity to provide a stable learning environment at home, it is not feasible for me to pursue employment at this time.
I hope this information clarifies my situation, and I am open to discussing any potential adjustments to my Universal Credit commitments that reflect my current responsibilities.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Feel free to adjust the statement to better fit your personal circumstances.

For tailored legal advice, consider contacting a local advisor.

Homeschooling three children is a significant responsibility. To further support your case for exemption from work-related requirements, emphasize the time and effort involved in homeschooling beyond standard school hours.
