The Government come out with major changes to trying to and give the illusion that they are going to get 100.000,s of of these so called scrounging claimants back to work, every few years, usually when an election is nearing and they know it is a vote pleaser with many voters.
I remember back in 1996 when they brought in Job Seekers Allowance, I was doing a Health and Safety inspection in one of the Jobcentre’s (prior to Jobcentre + when the Benefit Agency was still separate) and the manager saying to me that it didn’t matter what policy the Government came out with, if an employer doesn’t want the people that the Jobcentre were sending them, they would simply, just stop using the Jobcentre to recruit their staff.
I am not ignoring the adverse affects that these changes may have on some disabled, yet we still have some disabled voting for this party.
