Proposed changes to contribution-based Employment

These proposed changes are not yet law. However, given their possible effect, Jobcentre Plus have decided to write to claimants to prepare them to this possible change. Starting on 19 September 2011 and running over a 4 week period, we will write to all claimants receiving contribution-based ESA to advise them that their contribution-based benefit may be limited to 12 months.

Don't work like that we have the "The Parliament Act 1911 " better known as the cop out act

The Act abolished any power of the House of Lords to veto any public Bill introduced in the House of Commons

worse case they could slow it down by 2 years but they now i think can only do it for one year
