    The phrase "Dont spend it all at once" comes to mind Numpty.:rolleyes:

    I suppose thats summat to be glad of though - at least that "income" - if one can dignify such a low amount with the word "income" to describe it has started to come through now. That sort of level is "more of an insult than an income". I noticed recently the TUC is lobbying to have this raised to about £75 - which is still total peanuts. I live very simply - but even if I made every economy I could possibly make - I literally couldnt manage on even the TUC hoped-for level. Leastways - as I recall - you are living with your "Mam" - so hopefully you'll get through on that level of income till a job comes along.

    Hoping it wont be long before you find something.

    I agree that its an insult, I did a new SOA for my DMP and cutting everything out I'm still very short,
    I live on my own so I should be getting HB and CTA but they are not rushing with that

    Numpty are you on IB or CB JSA?

    I only ask cause I have the dentist next month and already have tooth ache- dreading the visit!

    Had my 1st proper signing on day last week but it was such a rush as over worked/under staffed I only just had time to ask re not getting anymoney, forgot to ask about HC2 in the rush!

    I was given a phone No to ring re the money, rang them, Yes it should have been d/w, got a phone call saying I would get it this week, Only 3 weeks since 1st claimed!

    Good job hubbie still has a job! Although still looking bad.

    Numpty are You any where near Elland? Saw a warehouse job, can PM u if you like with details, got it off machines at job center.

    I'm a fair way away from Elland and it is not easy to get to on public transport:o:confused:
    Thanks for thinking about me:cool:

    I'm on CB JSA,
    The form you need to get is HC1 , (need to update postabout that) :o
    you can get backdated payments i think:confused:
    HC2 is the certificate, covers you for a year
