    Jobless Katie - I hope you find something soon.

    They don't tell you about work trials either where you can try a job for 15 days and get your JSA as well as getting bus fares and lunches paid for each day (in my case it was £6 per day for travel and lunch).

    They will never ever tell you that you are entitled to anything as they are just a bunch of lowly paid jobsworths.

    :j

    They do tell you about work trials, my son got his present job at Matalan through one.

    They also previously, for an interview at another shop, paid for him to buy a manual that he needed to learn about their product.

    There are Bnenefits professionals on this board giving free advice in their own time. I wonder if they like being called jobsworths.

    To the OP, CONGRATULATIONS!

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
