More on DWP cruel and unusual Jobseeker Directions

Last Updated: May 6, 2013By

Here’s a further analysis of the DWP’s fake psychometric test, going into the effect of having to take it on individual jobseekers.
For me, the point that sprang out of this one is that around one in 20 jobseekers are being sanctioned every month – because it corresponds exactly with the leaked documents showing that Job Centre Plus has been set a target, to sanction five per cent of Jobseekers. That’s one in 20.
And yet the DWP claims it has no such targets. Another example for Sheila Gilmore’s list, I think.
