No mandatory work, no work coaches and no reduction of monies for those in the ESA support group
Reconsider the green paper, which recommends that anyone in the esa support group has to keep in contact with the Job Centre, also possibly undertake manadatory work, and also be under threat with sanctions if they do not comply.
Why is this important?
It is important to for a government to support and look after those who are most vunerable in society. If we lose track of the basic fundamentals of decency, then we have no right to call our country 'great'.
Added to this, the threat of reducing the income for those in support to the level of JSA - regardless of the pain suffering and extra cost that being severely ill incurs. To be placed in the support group proves that the person has illness that shows they are unfit for work. To push these people who are already trying to cope with the most basic day to day needs, is barbaric, cruel and shows a government with no empathy at all.'
