Not entitled to jsa because I'm seeing my children

Sounds like an ideal situation for Jeremy Kyle

Hi

I cant really offer any advice but I think the JSA sanction is incorrect surely just because you are on a train travelling to see your kids doesnt mean you cant look for work its not like you are out of the country. I hope the decision maker goes in your favour and I wish you all the best and hope you manage to get it all sorted. It does sound as if your homeless have you contacted Shelter or the like they may be able to offer you some proper legal advice

If you were offered an interview on a visit day, would you change your visit day to accommodate the interview?

I think JSA has been sanctioned for something else rather than this but i only assume, i wish the OP all the luck in his attempts at seeing his children.

I have no idea what to suggest.

But I do think some of you posters should be ashamed of yourselves. You asusmed far too much and made judgements without knowing the full facts.

Where did the OP say in his original post that his children stayed overnight with him? Where did the OP say he had a car so that it would be easy to move to Kent? In many parts of the country, it is not exactly easy (nigh on impossible, I'd say) to find somewhere to live when you are on benefits. And if you are homeless, how likely is it that you will be offered a job in this day and age with so many people being unemployed??!!
Good luck absent dad. I do hope you are able to keep in contact with your children.

What an appallingly negative attitude!

Why on earth do you need a car to move from one part of the country to another?

It can be tricky finding somewhere to live when on benefits, but by no means impossible and he's going to have to find somewhere soon,whether in Wales or Kent.

It'll be a damn site easier to find a job in the south east than it will be in Wales.

Having said all that, I agree with dmg24, definitely an AE and a troll.

He hasn't got his children staying overnight yet, but hopes to have them. See this part: "[FONT=Swiss 721 BT,Swiss][FONT=Swiss 721 BT,Swiss]I am back in court mid this month and was hoping for overnight and holiday contact, "

Why does he need a car to move? I, and I'm sure many others like me, didn't have a car but managed just fine when moving from my home town to where I live now. He's living in a caravan parked on the street, someone he knows must have transport, or the means to hire a car/van or else how do you suppose the caravan got there in the first place? What if the neighbours complain enough that he's forced to move on, how would he manage that?

It's not always about making assumptions, sometimes it's called actually reading what's posted and applying logic.

Besides, I don't want to live in Kent thanks

So your children aren't that important then!

OP-what have you agreed to on your Jobseeker's Agreement in relation to the type of work you are looking for and the hours that you are available for work? Did the advisor take disputed JSAg action and also refer your claim to a Decision Maker on restricted availability or availability grounds?

Sorry Absent Dad but you won't like what I am about to say.

You have said it is a war of attrition between you and your ex wife. If that is the case then there is only going to be three results

You win
You lose
You draw


From your comments you are not going to get what you want (win), there is no room left for a negotiated settlement (draw) so it looks like, in this particular war, you lose.

If that really is the case then you want to start thinking what to do from now, get a Job, get a house, get your life back.

If you have all the paperwork, and it sounds like you have, then in the years to come you can show your kids everything you tried to do to stay in contact with them, how hard you tried, how much you spent but in the end it was their Mother that took you out of their lives.

Concentrate on making them proud of you

So you are not a troll, but your AE has logged in and back out again in between each of your posts? Bit of a coincidence!

The only troll I see on this thread is you, dmg24.
I would have thought someone with their own Bipolar diagnosis would have been more sympathetic to others with mental health issues.
Just because you've got 20,000+ posts doesn't give you the right to start crying "troll" at almost every new poster. Unless you have access to the Admin/Moderator controls on vBulletin (which provides IP address information) you have no way of knowing whether someone is an AE (Alter Ego)
If you don't have anything useful to offer the OP then perhaps you should remain silent instead of bolstering your post count with accusations of "troll" and "wind-up".
