I see another phased change to this came into affect to this yesterday. If you are on income support and your child is ten you will be transferred on to jobseekers allowance. This is being phased in by the government to help the parent return to work.

Will this work in the current climate of unemployment?

Is this just another gimmick as the money still comes from the public purse just a different purse?

Probably just another gimmick from the government, but it makes them look like their doing something to cut the amount of numbers of people claiming benefits!
