Firstly, this lady is not required to participate in the work programme if she is in the Support Group.

Secondly, to mandate any claimant to participate in the WP, the direction must be lawful, the notification is not compliant.
Reference:
For ESA and mandatory Income Support Lone Parent, participants state on the Notification that ‘this activity forms part of your work-related activity action plan.’

The direction is unlawful as per DWP policy and guidance!
