UB is a stop-gap until things get better by other means (a job).
How is this a stop-gap, since it's not enough to live on?
What if they get evicted from their home and become homeless because
they can't afford their rent, for example? It would become even more
difficult for them to get a job, without somewhere to live.
It could well be an adequate stop gap for the reasonably well healed. Who
can manage to exist on savings etc until any benefits come through. They
might well be able to exist for a short term without running ups debts.
Sadly, many who find themselves out of work may not be in this fortunate
position.
Quite. THis is what some other posters here fail to understand.
It's easy. Plenty charities helping the unemployed etc are crying out for
volunteers. Might open their eyes, rather than believing everything they
read in the Mail.
