I have been contacted by a couple of people who have been caught in having to sign on for the year between their 65th and 66th birthdays. Has Mr. Gaynor a view on that requirement? It seems preposterous that people are put on jobseeker's allowance for that year. They must go through all the hoops to get jobseeker's allowance, with labour activation, questions about whether they are looking for a job, and all the rest.
