It could include things such as:
The commitment will also record the consequences of not meeting your responsibilities. If you fail to keep to your Claimant Commitment you may receive a sanction which means you will lose some of your Universal Credit for a certain period of time.
You can view your Claimant Commitment in your Universal Credit online account and also update any progress on your goals.
If you claim Universal Credit as a couple, you will each have a Claimant Commitment depending on your circumstances.
