New Deal and Flexible New Deal Exposed

Interesting post on there. Nothing as a surprise though. I don’t even think its imcompetence in the care-free way, but deliberate as an act of discouragement. Some DWP staff are little hitlers… many, however, are just under-trained etc. and this isn’t just a regional issue as the DWP Survey found out – this is a national problem and it seems middle management and higher are allowing this for purpose of defrauding and discouraging genuine to-be/current claimants from claiming.

If you dont give the workman his tools he is going to do a crap job. (Same with a female with the same task.) If you dont teach the staff properly of how to do their job they are going to make mistakes – these mistakes 80% of the time (its an estimate – not 100% successful as DWP staff do over pay people) saves money or improves cash flow. Of course, there are internal policies they have to tweak the law.

Take a look atmy latest post meant to be a spoof post but is going to be closer to reality than anything else

It is far worse than you describe.
Jobcentre staff don’t even do anything useful.
There is no help for unemployed people, just pointless form shuffling.
