Kelly Stone Suspended Over Benefit Claimant Tweets
Good. She deserves to be sacked. She’s clearly in the wrong job.
Kelly Stone, 25, tweeted: “If people don’t turn up to an appointment, I stop their benefits for 13 weeks… suckers.
“If I offer them a job and they don’t turn up – benefits stopped forever until a job is found. Gutted.
“I get so much pleasure knowing what I can do if the (sic) mess me round. I’m going to be shot for it one day I bet!”
Ms Stone, from the Watford area, works for the Transline Group interviewing Jobcentre applicants for jobs advertised by clients such as Argos, Homebase, Amazon and Asda.
It is believed Kelly feels she can affect people’s benefits by giving negative feedback about applicants.
Under the user name @DietQueen the 25-year-old added: “I had someone who’d been claiming for 10 years and his benefits were stopped because he told me he gets more through the government than working.
“Even his housing benefits stopped…bliss.”
Twitter user Caroline Rowland, 61, said: “I was horrified. I actually had to read the messages twice to see that I hadn’t misunderstood.
“Anyone can make one off the cuff comment without thinking but her comments indicate she despises the people she is supposed to be helping.
“Because of the serious nature of her comments she needs to be sacked.”
Ms Stone has not replied to a request for a comment.
Her father Paul, 47, claims she has moved out of the family’s £340,000 pounds home in Bushey, Herts.
He confirmed Kelly works in recruitment, adding: “She said she’s been suspended for some reason or another.
“I’ve only heard about it today.”
A spokesman for Transline would only say: “Kelly Stone has been suspended pending a full investigation.”
Her comments have met with a furious backlash on Twitter.
Ben Johnston wrote: “Maybe a taste of benefits is what she needs so she can see how others struggle…”
While Francesca Manning added: “…Kelly Jane Stone been sacked yet? vulnerable ppl are in danger as long as she keeps her job…”
And Tony Rowell tweeted Transline saying: “It’s disgusting that one of your employees is gloating about the enjoyment she gets from sanctioning benefit claimants.”
A Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman said: “Only the DWP has the power to remove benefits it administers.”
She added benefits are only stopped when jobseekers fail to live up to conditions agreed when they make their claim.

this girl was caught but i can tell you that a lot of DWP staff are just like her and who can blame them with their mentor IDS constantly putting the sick and disabled up for chat and debate and making their lives so difficult that many die expedited by the ongoing stress they face in a very bleak and depressing UK
there are many Kelly Stones in this country all full of internal hate for others she was just unlucky she crossed our path and was our good fortune to report her but the likes of her will be back with a vengeance of that there is no doubt

They are taking their orders from above, people with a tendency to be nasty will apply the rules with relish. It is the rulemakers who need to be taken to task, not just individual workers
