This Order extends the period for which the pilot scheme established under the Universal Credit (Work-Related Requirements) In Work Pilot Scheme and Amendment Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/89) (“the In Work Pilot Scheme Regulations”) has effect.

Regulation 8 of the In Work Pilot Scheme Regulations provides for the pilot scheme to expire after three years unless continued by an Order of the Secretary of State.
