So, the Job Centre say 'take the job we tell you to, or we'll strip your benefits' ... so he does, finds it was only for 2 days work, not the longer contract he'd been led to believe, ends up having to try and restart his claim for unemployment, but the system is so bogged down, he actually ends up having to refuse work over the following months because they've not left him any money to eat with, let alone pay travel or clothing costs for a job ... and conveniently 'forget' to tell him that there's a hardship fund exactly for this situation ... yet another counter-productive 'austerity' measure.
