From Rightsnet news ESA survey
Key findings of the report include -
•amongst people found fit for work (FFW), when their ESA claim ended, 28 per cent said they moved into (or back to) work and 48 per cent claimed another benefit which was usually jobseeker’s allowance (JSA);
•the remaining 24 per cent of the FFW group reported a mixture of ‘clear’ activities such as going to college, retiring or being supported by family, friends or savings, and ‘unclear’ activities such as ‘continued without benefits’ or saying they did not know what they did next;
So, the people who come to see us are the “‘unclear’ activities such as ‘continued without benefits’ or saying they did not know what they did next;”
It would be interesting to know how much of the 24%are there and in actual numbers, how many people are like this.
