As far as I know, that attitude was acceptable by the jobcentre staff themselves until they were told to think otherwise.
with some people they get their rent, council tax and a few other bits and bobs paid. so they see it as a bigger picture where if the job is only temporary they will have to pay out I'd say a minimum of £100 per week before they start working out travel and all other expenses.
it's not really their fault either. I remember when I was younger and people claiming the dole knew they were entitled to everything that was going. they'd be down the office demanding this and that. even with their baby in arms saying who's going to feed it?
it's only just recently started changing, where demands are not met anymore. and the responsibility lies with the parents and not so much the government.
