lauren84 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 My dad once was out of work he was self employed and he was stuffed! Apparently he had paid B, C and D contributions but no A...so he wasnt entitled to JSA! Great seeing as he was 47 and worked all he could up to then!!!!

happyhippy Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Happy it does say if you are going away from home for even a day then you need to inform the jobcentre, although if you have a mobile on you and can still be contacted I don't see how they can begrude him helping his gran out. He can't be expected to sit in and hope that today is the day he gets a call for a job. The unemployed need a life too!. Really? I googled "going away from home, even if it is for a day", and found two fake sites, and this site. Tell me where you saw it. You do not have to say where you are at all. What you have to do is show, upon request, that you have fulfilled the requirements to receive Jobseeker's Allowance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Have you been unemployed recently? Is that any of your business? Have you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missflirtuk Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 It says in the Jobcentre sign on books unless they just say that so you can never be far away and they use it to be nosey . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Nope. It says that you must actively seek work. That doesn't mean that you have to trawl every place where jobs may be available 24 hours a day, but that you have to have taken reasonable steps to secure employment. In no way, shape or form does it say that you have to inform a Jobcentre of your whereabouts, unless you are in a position whereby the claim to benefit would be breached. These aren't bail conditions, you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missflirtuk Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 It says it somewhere I will find the form out tomorrow (well later on today and write it word for word). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren't bail conditions, you know! I don't think you should have been so quick to jump down the OP's throat. You're the one who's wrong. I have the booklet in front of me now, it states; "you must tell us immediately if you change your address or are going away from home, EVEN IF IT IS FOR A DAY" Right there in black and white.

Amaranthus Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'm sorry but I just have to say that I find it disgusting that some people can unfairly butcher a new member to the point where they no longer want to be a part of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanl Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 i really cant be bothered with this post anymore. ive said all i need to say. Don't let the oh so perfect knockers drive you away from the forum ben and hope you have a satisfactory outcome to your problem. Some of em should remember that they can be right some of the time but not ALL of the time and that the halo's that they wear might one day slip.....and strangle them.
