Here's some recent pics from demos outside Neasden and Kilburn Jobcentre to protest unfair Employment and Support Allowance decisions, which deny sick people the money they are entitled to and "sanctions" of Jobseekers Allowance, where claimants have their money stopped or reduced for allegedly not doing enough to look for work.
These issues make up the vast majority of our personal cases and cause no end of heart ache to our members.
Although both issues might look like personal problems: the number of times they occur points to systematic problems in the administartion of these benefits.
This is why we at Kilburn Unemployed Workers believe in fighting them as a collective problem, with public demonstrations and publicity!
Self-help support vs ravages of 'welfare reform'. Never attend anywhere official alone!
This blog currently focuses on national policy matters that impact upon KUWG members.
Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group as a group focuses primarily on combating benefits injustices locally through advocacy in individuals' benefit claims, and demonstrations that emphasise that there is hope when we come together. We are more angry than frightened.
