For those on Flexible New Deal this is the law (The Flexible New Deal (Designation of Employment Officers) Order 2009) that give the power for a private business to refer someone for a benefit sanction. Some providers have limited people who can give sanctions others allow administrators and PAs the ability. We couldn’t find this statutory instrument anywhere nor the number of it.

January 20, 2010 — Flexible New DealI find it absolutely disgusting how DWP staff, management and politicians are all exempt from any blame when it comes to benefit entitlement decisions. Today comes the real life scenario of the DWP who turn their backs on people without a care in the world; in this case it was a woman who was forced to suicide taking her young child with her.
Whereas to most people who fall victim to the dark side of the welfare state having to live deeper into poverty perhaps commiting crime to survive; regardless of the situation there needs to be responsibility for actions.
First, the computer systems list your personal circumstances and this shall be taken into consideration when making the decision. In this example maybe she had an 8 month gap in 5 years making her not entitled to the benefit but didn’t they overlook that she also has a child? Read more on New Deal Scandal »

October 16, 2009 — Flexible New DealToday I have received an email from a New Deal Scandal blog reader and ex-New Deal participant who is upset at his mistreatment of this New Deal farce:
I know its a diabolical situation & I am so glad I found your website because I was beginning to think it was just me who thought the New Deal Programme was such a farce & I was being forced to sign off just to get the unemployment figures down.
Here is a copy of the still yet unanswered letter that has been sent to the manager of the Jobcentre Plus office in Lewisham, all the major tabloids, Yvette Cooper (Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Work & Prisons W*nkers and Pillocks), Darra Singh CEO of Jobcentre Plus and Gordon Brown!

July 14, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealWhat is with the unemployment system?
“Assaults” on staff are to be dealt with by benefit sanctions and not by police.
Awkward customers are to be removed from the Jobcentre Plus office by police after being held by security.
Assaults are crimes, it is a police matter. Exceeding your time slot or talking back to staff isn’t!

(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Jobcentre Plus suppression continues: false allegations
July 13, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealWe recently reported about Jobcentre Plus suppression regarding the misuse of security officers and police time in ejecting jobseekers from the Jobcentre Plus offices for false incriminating reasons to prevent them getting their legal entitlement.
This misconduct was only the start: a blog reader added more worrying concerns who states that the Hackney Jobcentre Plus prevents Jobseekers using the Jobpoints also requesting police to remove the unemployed from the building. The misuse of public services which could be better used for fighting crime seems to be an growing common trait at the Jobcentre Plus offices around the country.
The Jobcentre now stops the unemployed jobseekers from accessing jobs: a requirement for receiving Jobseekers Allowance; an welfare benefit for those without employment to survive on.
This article focuses on more issues regarding the services provided by the largest UK Government department including making false allegations towards people, a claim I can also personally defend from my own circumstances and various sources all over the country too and also in the case we reported in the above article.

July 11, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealIt is official: jobseekers have no rights. Jobcentre Plus doesn’t follow the law. There is no punishment against the Department for Work and Pensions for breaking the law or for human rights violations. Claiming benefits has become more difficult with many Benefit Delivery Centres using lie detectors which work by picking up anxiety etc. in the voice, the norm once been on hold for 20+ minutes, resulting in some people being unable to claim… and to top it off now New Deal Scandal has received numerous reports of jobseekers being removed from the Jobcentre without any legal justification and incriminated.
