    never mentioned the work programme. Prisoners cant fend for themselves neither can people who have their jsa stopped. Bills still need paying
    .

    Yes they can. There are alternatives to benefits, none of which are available to prisoners.

    Charity is open to you. The government does not owe you a fundamental right to sustain your life.

    What charity pays all your bills then, the government does actually say you need a basic amount to live on by law.

    they should be looking after their own. How come a child killef gets tax payers money to appeal.

    No law says that. The law states if you meet these conditions you are entitled x amount which the amount deemed needed to live on. Don't make stuff up.

    Is it true that DWP/Jobcentre have targets for sanction JSA Claimants? it was on the news a few days back (think it was on Granada news, ITV)
    It was due to a leak what's bought all this up about Jobcentre have targets to sanction people who are on Jobseekers but of course Iain Duncan Smith has denied the claims.
    If these claims are true then I think something should be done about this as Jobcentre who are sanction people for no good reason at all is making people's life so hard, fair enough if they don't agree or take steps from they agreement for JSA, but I read some stupid excuses from Jobcentre as to why people have been sanctioned.
    This needs to stop, how do the advisors sleep at night :mad:
    Well, IF I WAS AN ADVISOR, I would say that is rubbish; I sleep at night because if my boss gave me a sanction target I would tell them where to shove it... :wink:
