    It's all about attitude and willingness to work.

    I don't think anyone's posts are 'ludicrous'...everyone has an opinion and just because you don't agree with what was being said was wrong in your eyes, makes it wrong full stop.

    Not at all you're completely missing my point - i don't care about other opinions but if they're not asked for - don't give em!!

    Funnily enough I really don't care/didn't think you would.

    You clearly have no work ethic yourself so can see your struggle.

    I promise not to lose any sleep over it though.

    And as I've said, it's a public forum. Whether you think people should post them or not is irrelevant (thankfully)

    Work ethic has nothing to do with it. Where did you get that from?.

    Look she made an honest mistake. She did apply but not in the correct way. The obvious thing for the jsa to do would have been to give her a warning. Any fool can see that surely.

    May well be irrelevant but like you keep saying (yawn) it's a public forum therefore by your standards i am allowed to tell them what i think whether yoy like it or not- and judging by your tone i'd say not. :p

    I would get signed off for the stress of it all. I am sure most doctors would do that. before i moved to my present location i had to go and see a doctor for arthritis that i was refered to by the jsa, he said because i was moving he would sign me for 6 months till i am settled in. (I kid you not)..>!!

    Which just shows that GPs can't be trusted to certificate where benefits are concerned and why bodies like ATOS are needed.

    I hate the Job Centre, when I was made redundant and on JSA I was told I had to provide evidence of my job search. I did just that and not once did they ask to see it, they just paid me the money. Kind of beats the point of JOB seekers!!! I have known people who have claimed it and they haven't even been looking for a job, they just use it as 'beer money'!!!

    I can see why the OP is worried about this, but at the end of the day why should Tax Payers be left to foot the bill? I haven't had a job for 3 weeks but I'm not relying on other people to pay for my pets (who I consider family) or pay my bills. Luckily I am starting a new job this Monday.

    I love babies but wouldn't have one just yet as I know I would have to rely on hand-outs, and that isn't fair. Kind of ironic that my tax (when I was in work) was paying to bring up somebody else's kid, yet I can't afford to have my own!!!
