Travel Expenses For Going To Sign On

Net_Hoover

Hi can anyone tell me if you can still get travel money when you go to sign on.The last time I claimed JSA 10 years ago the staff would ask how you had travelled there to sign on and you would get a cash payment dependent on the type of travel used.

I did and they said you don't get money for that.But other people reckon you get bus/train fair, per mile payment for car use.Any one the current policy ?

You wont get any travel expense, But you can claim travel back when you go for a return to work interview or if you are called into the jobcentre at anytime other than your normal signing on day.

No yet another example of Cameron trying to make people have to beg for something they should be entitiled to. WHY do they always put people down.

The travel expenses would have to be reasonable and usually the cheapest form of transport.
