I was on benefits for quite a while while my old business wasn't making anything, ended up in one of those agencies that force people into work (despite not having time to do so, as I explained to them at excruciating length, not as bad as it sounds) and the kinds of jobs they were finding me were just so utterly retarded, not suitable in the slightest. My favourite was one where they wanted me to drive a team of 4 other people up and down the country to fit out shops, because I had a car, which I'd already explained only had 2 seats...
Best of it is, when these people get people into work, no matter how unsuitable, or how few hours or how much worse off they are, they (the agency) get a substantial sum from the government for doing so.
Having caught wind if how they operate I signed off and found my own part time job to fit around the business, they (my assigned twat of a job finder) then continued to chase me to ask if I'd got a job or not so they could claim their fee. I don't think I've ever given anyone such a round of f**ks in a letter before!
