I think the system is very difficult to find your way around in.
– I have been on incapacity benefit for several years, and I have had at least 12 caseworkers, and when I recently was going to the meet, because my internship would not be extended more, yes, there were of course a new person.
– I have not so easy to explain myself to people I don’t know, and the new caseworker had not even taken the time it takes to read my case,
– He knew f.ex. not that I had just finished my period or that I have been working with craftsmanship and service for 20 years and went down with the stress and anxiety.
so begins kontanthjælpsmodtageren Dennis a letter to the nation! on the way to Copenhagen’s job centre on Lærkevej treat him. Dennis – who suffer from stress and anxiety and, therefore, is very far from being able to fit a full-time job – seems that the system is complicated and inhumane. And he does not understand why he cannot simply be allowed to continue to get his unemployment benefit and then be in the unpaid ’internship’. the
His letter – as the Copenhagen Municipality has been ten days whether or NOT to answer – continues namely as follows:
I felt actually a little ridiculous, and really I do not understand why I couldn’t just continue with the internship, I was happy.
– It was at a public institution, where I swept and bored and went to the ward and had it well, for I know with myself, that I shall not have any liability – only responsible for a diet or a drill.
– I was so happy with my internship, and they were also happy for me, and it was extended two times, but now I was going to have to stop, says the job center.
I got my cash assistance, which is of 11,000 dollars paid (I get a little extra because I’m eneforsøger with two children), and that is fine enough for three hours of work on Monday and three hours on Friday.
– Why should the system be so convoluted and inhuman. joins Dennis to meet with the municipality d. 8 in the beginning of January. Dennis has already been told that he will meet with a new caseworker.
