The Dole Disincentive To Getting A Job

Clemenza · 2013-07-12 14:31:38

Just really bugs the hell out of me. Myself and my partner are both unemployed, I get 188 a week jobseekers and 124 for her co habiting, so 312 a week or 1248 welfare. We pay 1000 a month rent which is killing us (we both lost recent jobs), thankfully the tenancy agreement is up next month. We've been approved for rent…

Myself and my partner are both unemployed, I get 188 a week jobseekers and 124 for her co habiting, so 312 a week or 1248 welfare. We pay 1000 a month rent which is killing us (we both lost recent jobs), thankfully the tenancy agreement is up next month.

We've been approved for rent allowance, which would be about 300 a month off a new place.

If I get a job we'll lose both the jobseekers and rent allowance, and we'll be actually worse off.

This p*sses me off no end, I'd rather be poorer and have a job to take pride in, but the way the system is at the moment sucks balls
