Anyone who knows these things: is there any breakdown of the types of illnesses people on the sickness benefit have. How detailed is it (ie mental illness is not clear enough -- it needs to be broken down into specific groupings)? Will recipients with certain types of dianoses be targeted, or will everyone on that sort of benefit be intensively "advocated for"?

Progress will be monitored using one key measure – the number of working-age people continuously receiving JSS for more than 12 months.
The core KPI: what happens after the targetees come off the JSS is not the government's business. The important thing is that the numbers are cut, some would say slashed by near 20 per cent. In other words, let them eat cake, starve or find a job; their choice.
The most disturbing thing is that half the people on this JSS are sickness beneficiaries. Sick people must work? Or is it that the govt believes too many people are receiving the sickness benefit unnecesarily; if that is so, please explain. Or are the most vulnerable being targeted?

Okay Lilith, that last post did not imply anything you might think it implied, it was a way of explaining the blur after I'd found the bag. Right? Cool.
