Surely JSA IB are allow to have a holiday a maximum of 2 weeks per year in uk or abroad ?? I will seek citizens advice bureau about this.

What an absolute load of bunkum!! Yes you can holiday for up to 14 days but you have to shown that you can take up a job if one comes up or/and you are still actively looking for work.
The JC+ will and does argue that being asbroad means that you are NOT available!

A while ago my wife and I paid for our daughter and her boyfriend to go to Cyrpus for some 'quality' time together following the death of her child - our young grandson. Her boyfriend was claiming JSA and had been for quite a long time.
He didn't notify them that it was abroad, instead a very remote Scottish Isle. He explained that to return would require a 12 hour journey home (which is entirely true), but would do so if a job came up. The DWP accepted that and changed his signing on date to the date of return.
So, although he did not tell any lie, he just didn't say it was out of the country.

So the moral is - and it is one that is used by most people including MP's , that it is not prudent to give too much information away!!

The jobcentre manager had warned my parents that my income support might be changed at anytime under new coalite government plan but at the moment they had no current change to my income support of my child in recept of DLA middle rate care and lower rate mobility. I could stay on IS for 8 years, but this maybe will be changed depend if David Cameron's mind think it isnt fair or it very fair.

You cannot be know unless government can change all benefits year by year.

Just have to keep your fingers crossed then, huh?

Because the poster is entitled to Income Support?

So, we have seen how the OP talks/types on this thread. Here is a post of his from yesterday on another thread:

"You can't do this! Job centre won't let you as they ain't stupid as they will class it as another EXCUSE to avoid JSA because they will tell you in interview "Why college in september but WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT before ?".

You will end up in JSA anyway. And no excuse!"

Is it just me, or can anyone else see a distinct change in grammar/language abilities? Something not stacking up :eek::eek::D

yes I am deaf and I had interpreter with me at the interview. I mean angry of sign language not shouting in front of peoples! Just angry fisted sign language!

have you thought about learning to teach sign language? i did upto level two,i used to childmind two deaf children and teach them it aswell.loved it.have perfect hearing myself! i tried to get on a level 3 course and there just arent any tutors around.
if you were teaching the hours would fit in with your son aswell asholiday times.am struggling with rheumatoid arthritis at min,not controlled due to drug reactions etc etc but as soon as am able will be trying to get level 3 and earn some cash myself.
couldnt you let your parents take your son on holiday so you get time to look into courses jobs etc without stressing about childcare?

nah, i am ok now as i can stay on income support until my child 18th birthday but of course i want a job or training at colleges but interpreter not available to me 1 to 1 at college every days which they don't have enough staffs in my area. they only need interpreter if appointment with jobcentre, doctor, hospital, dentist or bank.

That is disgusting! Not fair to my son look forward to the holiday. I had a row and accused them for ruined us both. I hate this UK government as they had no idea the hell we been go through and suffered our times up and down.

!

What is disgusting is yet another lazy useless individual who seems to think that parenthood is an excuse for sitting on his backside, while idiots like us (and the jobcentre worker that you had the cheek to argue with) work to provide for you and your offspring. Someone who hates this UK government, but will take what it offers without a second thought. You can't work, but threaten your benefits and watch to come alive.

What is unfair is that with your £1000 per month in benefits, plus rent, council tax and all of the other freebies thrown in - school meals, prescriptions, dentist etc, you have an annual income that exceeds many people who actually work for a living (including the jobcentre staff), and yet you still have the audacity to moan and complain and then run squealing to your MP when the rules that have served you well for the past ten years, aren't changed to accomodate you.

People like you make me ill.
