Don't worry, you will automatically go back into stage 3 when you make a rapid reclaim for JSA as you only signed off a few days ago.

"community task force"!!!??

Is this something to do with having to clear up litter etc as part of signing up for JSA?

From what my job centre advisor told me it's a work experience placemet for 3 months 9 till 5 everyday plus 2 extra hour job search so it will help me a lot o get experience if i can get back on my claim

What sort of course was it that meant it was fake?
Why did you sign off JSA whilst you were still only contemplating the course? Surely you would only sign off once you were actually onto the course? Up until then, you are still available for work ... and until you are accepted onto a course, there's no guarantee you'll be on it.

Or was the course genuine, you actually started it and then you later discovered this:

But it should be said - regardless of what the community task force may be - big congratulations on the work ethic! Seriously! It seems that most people I hear about are doing everything they can not to go on such activities - I'd certainly have to think hard to recall someone desperate to go on them. I really, really hope that you get what you want from it, and given your attitude, I hope that you get a real job sometime soon. You sound like someone who would be an asset in the workplace
