Petition Action

Unemployed to pass a urine test in order to claim benefits.

Additional Information

Benefit claimants to be made to pass a quarterly urine test in order to continually claim housing benefit or job seekers allowance.

The armed forces and emergency services continually put their lives on the line and are required to pass a drugs test in order to keep their jobs therefore paying taxes back into the system.

It is unfair on these people, the genuine job seekers and the wider tax paying public that a number of benefit claimants are spending their job seekers allowance on drugs.
