Giving dignity back to the unemployed

Following the recent posting I made on Incapacity benefit there has now been the second announcmenet about doing something to relieve the problem of long-term unemployment and giving people more dignity in their attempts to find work.

The proposals include:

  • Two year limit on jobseekers’ allowance
  • Long-term jobless must do community work
  • Back-to-work centres for persistent jobless
  • Benefit cut for refusing three ‘reasonable’ job offers
  • All incapacity benefit claimants reassessed
