Do the DWP still do the whole paying a jobseeker money to buy clothes/for travel etc when they get a job? Perhaps they should do something similar when placing on work placements and/or at least make sure that the placement is within walking distance if possible? Working costs money-travel, food, clothes, grooming, other things I am sure.
Do they put people on suitable work placements, to their skills and experience?
On the other hand, for the people who have no intention of getting a job and do not make any effort to get one, I would be happy to see them forced into doing some work in order to keep their benefits. But how would the gov have them differentiated?Sorry if I sound droll, I'm stumped on this one.

I asked all those questions a while back but hit a wall of silence so I've given up.
