JSA sanction - 18, pregnant,lives alone- help!

Tell your Daughter to get to the Doctors on Monday to ask for a sicknote. Sign off JSA and onto ESA. Problem of Sanction....... gone!

Thanks for all the next dozen or so posters condemning my advice, The rules force people into these situations.

Good luck to you and your daughter in the future.

On the contrary, here's an 18 year old girl who is starving, freezing, alone and pregnant, she needs help, i'd say a sicknote and esa is most definately the way forward, good luck:)

Well, those last two posts show the pair of you in your true colours.

Forgot to mention the sicknote needs to be for over 2 weeks.

My true self is a tax payer who cares. If there was nobody claiming benefits my tax bill would NOT be reduced.

Since when has pregnancy been an illness?

I don't care about paying less tax, I just disapprove of people lying and cheating.

I'm not advocating lying or cheating, merely reading between the lines, i mean she cant be feeling very well, if she has to go without heating or food, and yes being pregnant, wont help the poor girl in those cicumstances, she might have a case for claiming sickness benefits, maybe , maybe not, who can say?:)

Yes you would say that though wouldn't you?

Being pregnant and alone doesn't make you privvy to ESA. It's comments like that and people like you 'parked up' on ESA that have made the medical so hard and for the genuine sick to get benefits.

p.s - 5 hours online....never heard of a cafe allowing a single person to stay that long. You must know them well.

My thoughts:

1. Why wouldn't Boots employ her for a Christmas job? It would be a temporary position so presumably they wouldn't have to pay her maternity pay or anything like that. Did anyone actually say they wouldn't take her?

2. Wouldn't it be easier to have her living with you until the baby is born at which point she will need more space and will be entitled to more? I can't see why she needs a place of her own at the moment.

She's not been.

Her Mother has been paying her bills and filling her cupboards...
