Lone parents' experience of welfare reform Tue 10-Nov-09 03:04 PM
new research report from gingerbread -
'Gingerbread have recently completed research that followed some of the first parents to move onto Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA). The benefit rules changed recently so that most single parents whose oldest child is aged 12-15 have been moved off Income Support and onto JSA in the last few months. The changes will be affecting more parents with younger children over the next two years.
Some of the first single parents to be affected by the changes took part in this work and we interviewed them in-depth before and after they moved off Income Support.'
