Re: How is this not fraud?

"Same DWP who sanction people for failing to turn up for an interview when they are too ill to leave their house."

The name changes, the organisation doesn't and keeps recruiting the same sort of staff. Back in the '60s they tried that one on me - I supposedly wasn't available for work because on the day I was supposed to sign on I was at the other end of the country at a job interview. The erk behind the counter backed down on being challenged to explain how being interviewed for a job constituted "not being available for work".
