1) No-one has mentioned Incapacity Benefit. JSA/IB stands for Income Based Jobseekers Allowance. 2) You are correct about Contribution Based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA/C), but I was trying to keep things simple. Most people will be affected if their savings exceed £6,000. This is mainly because: - JSA/C will not be enough to live on, so they will need to apply for JSA/IB too. This particularly affects those with a mortgage, after the qualifying period has been satisfied. - People in rented accommodation will have to claim Housing Benefit/LHA. This is means tested. -People responsible for Council Tax will have to claim Council Tax Benefit. This is means tested. 3) The Government intend to reassess every sick and disabled person in receipt of health related benefits. There will be three outcomes: A) They will be found completely fit for work and transferred to JSA/IB or JSA/C and be required to actively seek/be available for work. B) They will be found capable of doing work of some sort and put into the "work focussed" group. Discussions are currently taking place to end contribution based health benefits for these claimants after one year. C) They will be found unfit for any work, put into the ""support" group, unless they want to be put into the "work focussed" group voluntarily and may continue to claim contribution based health benefits indefinitely. It is widely expected that the vast majority of claimants will fall into categories A or B. My knowledge comes from being part of a consultation panel to the Government about various work related issues. It is worth noting that, instead of benefits being increased by the lower CPI, instead of the higher RPI, as was announced earlier, they are now very likely to be frozen. |

The fact is people are being made redundant and no one in their right mind would carry on the way you have about why we should be moving to Swansea, if the company wanted us that badly they would relocate locally. In reality those jobs are not for us and we realise that as fact. |

Not a single person is being offered alternative employment in Swansea that is fact!! no ifs or buts, as we are being made REDUNDANT!!!!! As for any jobs in Swansea on offer anyone interested has to apply for them and go through the application process the same as any other applicant because it is classed as another employer, the same would also apply to moving to Wythenshawe or any other office within the UK. I know it is hard especially with you continually posting inaccurate and untrue statements but try to remove your head from your rear extremity. |

I think we had all better calm down before we say something we later regret because of someone's big frack hammer.

I do think Richard has quoted a lot of the benefit regulations accurately but the problem with his posts is that he has failed to grasp that something that can be quoted as a fact is only of use if it is also relevant. I would be interested to hear what relevant experience Richard has regarding his having had to cope with redundancy and what advise he could give to the people who are actually the subject of this thread as apposed to the 'on your bike, no benefits for you!' attitude he has shown so far. |

If the company had turned around and said everyone has to move to Swansea or you will be out of a job with no redundancy package, then the would be a major issue as that would be unreasonable and lead to legal action against the company. |
