Get Rid Of Pensions?/ Addendum 2

What if the idea of a state pension were abolished,
and people who are still capable of working go
on Jobseeker's Allowance if unemployed. Incapacity
Benefit can then be paid (and probably indefinitely)
to people who are unable to work more than 20 hours
per week.

I'd suggest that both benefits be worth at least
100 pounds a week, probably at 125 pounds to
keep with the last post.

I suppose it would be unfair to call the
"non-Jobseeker's" benefits "Incapacity" as single
parents should hardly be expected to work longer
than 20 hours a week if raising children.
