• The post you are reporting:
   
  I read recently that the pilot scheme requiring selected people on JSA to do voluntary/community work resulted in approximately 25% immediately ceasing to claim because they didn't want to do work and another 25% who initially indicated they would do the work not turing up on the first day and so, I believe, had their JSA terminated. The selection was based on those who were considered not really participating in the job-seeking process.
  
  One reason why some preferred to lose JSA was that they were too busy working in the black market to have time to do the voluntary work.
  
  The potential JSA saving is enormous and I believe the scheme is to be rolled out nationwide. Don't know timescale.
