WeX Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think that 2 or 3 times a week is increasingly the norm now. This government like everyone on 16 hour contracts so that they can fiddle the employment figures. No it is not. Stop putting around blatant lies! To keep getting JSA you’ll normally have to attend a Jobcentre Plus every 2 weeks to show how your job search is going. the above is found here: https://www.gov.uk/jobseekers-allowance/overview There simply ins't the staff to make the unemployed attend the job centre more than once every two weeks.

alchresearch Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I remember when Brown cut VAT to 15% encouraging people to spend. He'd have been better increasing the savers interest rate encouraging people to save. Now things are bad and people are struggling to pay the bills I hope they can take comfort in watching their big telly or new car bought under the scrappage scheme.

Yep every 2 weeks unless they think you are working on the side in which case they will ask you to come in every day or random days to disrupt your work pattern.

Bypassblade Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 No it is not bull. I know someone who came out of work and it took her 8 weeks to get some money as the system is not working correctly. I think that you do not know what you are talking about. Unfortunately some claims for what ever reason can take slightly longer to process, they could have been waiting for information from her ex employer, and trust me they don't rush. On saying that she would be entitled to have requested an interim payment, which would be paid back when benefit sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being funny mate, but she does have a tongue in her head I presume, she could have asked if any help available to her. I appreciate it's not ideal but, if you don't ask you don't find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it's not ideal but, if you don't ask you don't find out There is always an excuse with people like this. They want everything on a plate and don't want to put in any effort for it. If she failed to bother to turn up and then didn't bother to ask how she can appeal or what help she can get, she is receiving her due reward for being lazy. She wont do it again, that is for sure if she wants her free money and I speak as an ex Job Seeker who fulfilled all my obligations to the Job centre and found them to be both helpful and nice people just trying to do their job.
