  • I think Benefits and Work agenda is simply to help people to get what they are entitled too. You can always sort out the Occupational issues with a secure income and knowing how to handle the DWP so voluntary work does not adversely affect your benefit as I have seen cases of where this has happened; on benefits and work.
    If MSE en masse belonged then they would see and there would be a flood of panicing threads on MSE, there would also I believe be a better quality of welfare advice given as sympathetic non judgement would gradually creep into their collective psyche and it would help MSE as a whole.
    Thus MSE would be an improved site.
    If anyone has benefits and works documents gotten for free from elsewhere, show me! As it is I am more than happy to pay my wee pennies to ensure benefit and works staff full independence.

  • I am also a benefits bashing bore also law bore, because I am trying to formulate counter-arguments to the points raised on here in order that they maybe soundly and rationally demolished without the dignity of the individual concerned be affected too much.

    What a wonderful list of unbiased organisations with no agenda whatsoever.;)
  • If you mean 'unbiased' no agenda. Well at least these Organisations care about the people they serve and that is a good agenda.

    What a warped and very ignorant response from an hypocrite with a total anti-benefit agenda ;)

    I have an idea..seeing as this information is supposedly available for free on the web (i haven't managed to find some of the stuff B&W have) maybe someone should make a sticky with all this easily found info so its easier to find, and moneysaving, after all this is MSE :)

    Good idea! Contact one of the board admins - I'm sure they will be very happy for you to pass on all the info you've found. :j

    What????? .
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.
  • If the material available on the Benefits and Work site is fully available elsewhere as MSE claims it is.
