    I once attended a course on benefits advice run by the CAB. Many of the providers were ex benefits agency staff who had left the job because they were being asked to employ deliberate delaying tactcs on claims and payments.

    This helps to cut the welfare bill by preventing those who do not have the knowledge or ability to pursue claims in the face of attempts to delay their claims. In other words, the most vulnerable.

    :eek:Why doesn't that surprise me

    When I started claiming my JSA was delayed a lot! They kept having to re-send paperwork to Belfast. It took over 6 weeks to get paid for the first time! Luckily I had savings!

    and chuckley, you are so judgemental on people on JSA it seems. Do you know the reason the OP is on benefits? No. He may be wanting a career rather than a low paid job. That's why I'm claiming JSA, a graduate looking to start a career. Yes I've done some work since graduating, temp work mostly. At this moment in time it's hard to get any job as there are so many applicants as more people are getting made redundant. Get off your high horse.
