Welfare to become a postcode lottery under Labour's plans to decentralise jobcentres, union warns
WELFARE will become a postcode lottery under government plans to decentralise jobcentres, Britain’s biggest Civil Service union has warned.

He issued the warning after Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) secretary Liz Kendall said jobcentres were no longer “fit for purpose.”
