Rejected petition 9 months maximum welfare benefits.

More details

Too many work shy people are sitting on the dole without looking for work. This is especially true for those in council housing or rented accomodation. A 9 month maximum period for welfare should be set. 9 months is long enough for anyone to find a job. Once you start a new job and the contract ends then the 9 month period would start again when you sign on.
