End the unfair cutting of Jobseekers Allowance

For new claimants of jobseekers allowance, in jobcentres, the UK government will not pay jobseekers allowance for the first three days of the claim. This has now been increased to seven days and it does not seem to be official written government policy. I want to bring about change to end this unfair practice.

Why is this important?

It is important because many millions of claimants are being unfairly penalised by the government when they claim jobseekers allowance whilst they are actively seeking employment. If you begin a new job then you are paid from the first day of your employment. Why shouldn't it be the same for claimants of jobseekers allowance?
