    If JSA at £67 a week plus housing benefit plus £90 a week came to £900 a month for 30 hours a week for a few months, it would be acceptable, providing that the employer than took on the person at standard wage after the trial period.

    However, if it is a minimum wage job at 40 hours a week, the standard contract would work out less per hour than during the trial period.

    In London, housing benefit is much higher than in Dover, and the signing-on mentality in areas where rent is 2-5 times higher is simply too much for the State to afford.

    So the work-placement scheme should provide for: JSA, housing benefit and £90 a week for 30 hours a week work, for a trial period, after which standard contract if the employer is satisfied with the person.

    So we need to ask the Government to add the £90 a week in the work placement scheme.
