Basically the Conservative party in the UK has announced that if they get elected then they will enforce a 3 strike rule with regards to job seekers allowance.
This means that if you are unemployed, you will be offered 3 different jobs and if you fail to ccept one of them, then you will be forced to do community work such as cleaning, painting etc etc or your allowance will be cut.
From my understanding, this will not affect people who are genuinly sick such as social anxiety sufferers aslong as you are seeing your doctor etc regularly and have the required paperwork.
Interesting read & thanks for the link.
My son was put on incapacity benefit from around April to just recently.
He was getting 4 week doctors lines,well that is until he was to go for a medical.He totally flipped,got himself all workd up etc,ya know.
Now he says he wont be going back to the docs nor get a job & he will make money online which is has done.Fair play but he cant do that for ever.How would that work for the future with NI contributions & such.
All a bit of a mess !!
