I don't think the law needed to change ,as far as i understood it you only got benefits(job seekers) as long as you were available for work ,if you are not looking for work or unable to work then you don't get anything ,that has always been the case as far as i know .In the case i have posted about she will still get money for the 2 yr old but nothing for herself untill she proves she is looking for work ,or becomes pregnant again ,i believe the latter will put her on a different benefit i think
I have very little knowledge of the benefit system so am willing to be corrected
