I think that this is far from fair. If you have been out of the
workforce for any one of a number of reasons, there is a lot be said
for getting a job, any job, as a lever to the next as you will at
least then have an employer's reference as to things like attendance,
punctuality, reliability etc. IOW I would sooner employ someone who
had done something, anything, during the last x months rather than
just sit at home drawing benefit.
