  • How are you living, if you have no money?

    My teen son did this a few years ago. He walked out of a job and tried to sign on while he found another.

    He couldn't get anything for 6 months and when he finally got another job, he owed me LOTS of back rent

    My god I cant beleieve how horrible some of you people are being to this poster,
    OK, they made a mistake, but they have come on here asking for advise, there is no need for abuse
    I thought this was a caring community, it sounds more like a Tory party confrence.
    They got a job in one town on a little wage, and they are told to commute,
    so all thieir wages go on travel expense,
    so they are told to move,
    how easy is it t find accomidtaion so easy

    You only had the travelling to do because you moved to Southampton without a job! Why not do what most sensible people do and move to the new place when you get a job there?

    Your attitude stinks
    you are a typical Tory

    i notice that everyone was attacking the op until he revealed he was not a teenager but a grown up who has not made a claim in 46 yrs! peoples perception changes when more details are revealed.
    although i feel sympathy for the op for trying to better himself, maybe next time a quick call to the benefits office may help before you pack in your job. good luck in finding a xmas job to see you through.

    ps ive assumed the op is a male
    Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.

    you can't get jsa if you voluntarily leave employment.

    You expect that naivety from a teenager, not someone
    "who has not made a claim in 46 yrs"

    Like I said, how have they managed to live? Does he/she have savings?

    Have you tried for a crisis loan or income support? I haven't a clue what else to advise. My son lived at home while he was jobhunting and I kept him
