This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition Modify the Benefits Act and diminish benefits to people who are able to work.
The Benefit Act is outdated and promotes sluggishness. I propose any person on unemployment benefits, fit for work, free from responsibilities such as looking after minors and is in the age of 18 - 55 who refuses work should receive no benefits, unless they have a valid excuse.
More details
Complete suggestion (character limiter on background page):
Any persons on unemployment benefit, fit for work, free from responsibilities such as looking after minors and is in the age of 18 - 55 can be asked at any time to do non skill based work for minimum wage at a government or private business. If the persons reject a job offer with no good reason benefits will be immediately ceased.
