Do you have to pay travel costs to get to the job?
I was offered bar work at events whilst on JSA but as it could be 4 hrs 1 wk, 0 hrs nxt wk & I'd have to pay out travel costs, I told JC I couldn't afford to take it, which they accepted. If it had been a set amount of hrs each wk I might have taken it.
Not everyone on JSA is a scrounger, but it's unreasonable to expect people to go out to work to be worse off.0 -
If you get £64 JSA then £5 is nearly an extra 10%. When you're really short of money, an extra £5 can be really useful and what else are you doing with your time?0

It's £5 ON TOP of your benefits, plus some experience in a real job, which can be priceless if it leads to more work.Signature removed for peace of mind0

Like someone else said if you work they minus £5 from your pay then knock the rest off your benefit and they won't take it until you have been paid- when you take your payslip in they will adjust the next JSA payment accordingly."It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice." :T0

Bang on. it could lead to something and even if it doesn't its something positive to put on a CV.

Good point!
OP - given your, obviously negative, sentiments towards the Job Centre, why would you be in any way keen to prolong the relationship?0
