Please those who have a (negative) moral emotional reaction to the subject matter don’t bother replying. I don’t want to get into my ethics here.
I have been living happily on government benefits for almost a year now claiming JSA and housing benefit.
I have to have another interview soon which I believe is my third ‘restart’ interview. I have had a suspicion for a while in the back of my mind that one day they will want me to go into ‘compulsory’ schemes to begin encouraging me more sternly back to work. Others say this either never comes or the schemes are a breeze anyhow. I still haven’t received or found any definitive information regarding this. What are other’s experience on this who have been on JSA for a year or more? Is there any increasing pressure to get you back to work or can I continue this cycle indefinitely without them escalating (at least significantly) in their pressure for me finding a job?
I can almost live on housing benefit alone as I live very frugally, but it’s mainly that I have to claim JSA to keep being entitled to HB as they need to see the viable source of my low income.
I have also been reading up on the hardship provision and have heard several homeless looking fellows (not judging just saying) asking for it in the past in my local Job Seekers office. I have only read the same rhetoric online about who is entitled to this- those unwilling or unable to work for whatever reason, but no literature on how it is paid. As I can (almost) live of HB alone then claiming hardship fund may be an alternative to JSA should my circumstances change. My main query is how is it paid and do I have to go in and sign up periodically as with the JSA or is it just transfered straight into my account? Presumably I won’t have to do the actively seeking work farce with hardship provision as that is not one of the criteria for hardship fund. So anyone who has info on this also please give me a heads up.
Thanks.

he’s too lazy to log in again.
the original poster didn’t even want a discussion – merely an instant answer which would be impossible to give anyway as benefit policies vary from region to region..
its no different from people what sign up here and ask for info on how to get drugs or where illegal raves are without even contributing anything else..

Surely the biggest example of people claiming what they r not entitled to is MPs expenses and then they cover it up as we have heard on the news 2day. So basically, they r getting away with it. Methinks the unemployed issue is atomistic compared to this.

But isn’t this ur own brand of rhetoric in reverse.

No No No I am having my chill-out hour after a stressful day. I thought it was over and you keep coming with this – again and again – like a severe case of dysantry that won’t let up.
All these points are political and that is that is why there is no 2+2=4 clear cut answer. This is the only thing that is true here.

but col,
you come up with other examples of theft from taxes like a severe case of dysantry. Surely we have a right to make our point in response… its ALL morally wrong IMO.

Being unemployed does not equate to stealing from taxes. Can’t we talk about something else. Me I am having a nice time listening to some cool tunz waiting for my film to rip. It is a red sky at night so it is shepherd’s delight. Hello.
