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  |
The facts, rather than your interpretation of them.

Work Experience and the Work Programme
12. The help and support introduced by the coalition government since 2010 has once again affected the way young people are recorded in the JSA statistics. Unlike the Future Jobs Fund, those taking up opportunities through the Work Experience programme continue to claim JSA while on their placement and only flow off benefit once they move into a regular job.
13.Young people referred to a Work Programme provider, typically after 9 months on JSA, continue to receive JSA rather than being moved to a training allowance and only leave once they find a regular job. These changes, which are still working their way through, have had a significant effect on the number of people on JSA in the 6-12 month and 12 month plus durations, which in total was 163,300 in March 2012.

This actually made the figures rise when it was introduced.
