Strategy proving to be the right pathway to JSA

Hello,

Have a quick read through this link

Shouldn't the first line of the article read:

Officials at the Department of the Work and Pensions can celebrate initial success in their attempt to get youngsters off incapacity benefits and onto Jobseekers Allowance with very little chance of progressing into employment.

I wouldn't really call getting people off IB and onto JSA and not actually into any employment a need for a celebration, would you?. Where's the party then?. It would have been better to back it up with actual figures of people who have get into employment.

It seems to me that the DWP want to get as many people off IB and onto JSA regardless of what effect it has on the claimants lives and what little chance claimants have of getting into employment.
