I've said before how it works.
when somebody is in the hands of A4e and the likes. they are effectively classed as in employment. yes they're still on JSA, but it is A4e and the likes that are paying them now. the JSA claim is kept live in the background. but doesn't count when as I said they come knocking for figures.
Infact, to back this up. it's very common that when someone is placed on one of these courses, and if they are also claiming housing benefit at the time. their claim for housing benefit will/may cease. simply because they are no longer claiming the qualifying JSA or any other qualifying benefit. and have to reclaim the HB. whilst in the meantime receiving a bill for full rent until that claim where they state that they are on a government slave labour scheme.
infact. think of how many hundreds of thousands that are now on these schemes that the government said they were doing. it's only logical that these figures tie into the stated claims of unemployment figures.
well done to your son. why didn't you tell us before now that he got a job? you'll have people thinking you're making it up
