Helping You Back To Work?
Stitching-up claimants is all part of the job, says Jobcentre insider

“Customers were being deliberately and inappropriately targeted,” the whistle-blower says. “I would see people crying in frustration, knowing they have been stitched up. Yet my Jobcentre was held up as a shining example to others. One of the district managers came to congratulate us. He said, ‘I see these people hanging round the precinct, being lazy, drinking, taking drugs’. That was a very senior leader. Another said, ‘These people are taking your money’. There was a total disrespect for the customer.” Daily Mirror, 13 May 2014

As well as a telling insight into being unemployed or disabled, might not this press report form part of a section about the (highly questionable) ways claimants are being "Helped" back to work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.230.118 (talk) 08:51, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
