What an absolute waste of time!
I am a full time student, at the end of my course now and starting my degree in September at university.
My partner is a stay at home carer to our disabled child and claims income support and carers allowance.
I have today had a letter saying I must attend a work focused interview so thinking it was a mistake phoned them up.
Turns out no mistake, it dosnt matter that I am student and so not available for work, it dosnt matter that my degree when completed will lead to a job and have us both of benefits. I am expected to look for a job regardless and waste an hour of my life doing so.
Where is the sense in this? Do they really expect me to throw away my degree and find a minimum wage job now instead?
It's compulsory though so I have no choice, yet another waste of tax payers money that is more likely to leave someone stuck on benefits for life instead of actually letting them better themselves in the long run.
