    As you may already be aware if people have been signed off sick by their doctor, ie for 4 weeks, they are entitled to Incapacity Benefit, and they would go straight onto "Action 4 Employment", once the person in question has received their first payment from Incapacity Benefit.

    However if someone has 4 weeks off, and that person cannot get on to "Action 4 Employment" until they have received their first payment this would mean they would only have a maximum of 2-3 working days, as it takes the jobcentre 2-3 weeks to setup payment, etc...

    Shouldn't it therefore be better to let the person in question get access to this specialist support as soon as the paperwork has gone, as long as they can provide proof that they would be applcable for IC Benefit?

    I hope you can reply.

    Thanks

Show more»" What I want to see, and what our recently published proposals set out, is for everyone who is on incapacity benefit now, and those who go onto its successor, the Employment and Support Allowance in October, to have the chance to get the right level of support to help them overcome their health problems and get back into work. Where that means getting people onto the right programme – for example to Pathways to Work, which is now available across the country – I want to see that happen. In the past too many people got written off. I want to see everyone having the chance to make the most of their potential. "Show less«

    I recently sent you a question through the "Yoosk" website, and was pleased to find that you had replied to my question, which I am totally grateful for, though I would like to ask you another 2 questions:

    1) As you'll already be aware unemployment is going through the roof, and this Government are rightly trying to reduce this as soon as possible.

    I myself, for the past 5 years have been on many different temporary assignments with different companies, gaining much needed experience in a vast amount of work settings, though now I'm ready to settle down, and obtain a secure Permanent one, many employers are saying "This bloke is moving from one job to another we can't take him on", in this instance my reply is it suited me at the time, though this doesn't help, what would sya to those employers that act in that way?

    2) The minimum wage is UP, great I'm over 22 years old, so I get £5.73, many unions are saying especially in this climate with inflation going up, this increase won't even scratch the surface, are the unions right or wrong?

    I realise the question are long, though for you to get a feel of what I am trying to say, this in my mind is the only way.

    Thanks
