Jobseekers Has Been Stopped

cfcrules

Since finishing university, I have found it difficult to find any full time work, currently only having managed to get a job for one 12 hour shift every 4-5 weeks, however this morning I received a letter telling me that I would no longer be receiving it, as my income now exceeded the amount allowed, £120, every four weeks for working 12 hours, as opposed to £224 on Jobseekers, I was just wondering if anyone had any advice, as it makes me question the whole system, actually getting more for not working, seems a complete farce to me.

Thanks

Are you sure that they have not stopped your money for one/ two weeks, as opposed to permanently?

Are you sure that they know that you only do one shift a month rather than one shift a week?

The letter stated that they would no longer be able to pay me as of 14th December, and to start an appeal if I disagree with their decision. I had to explain it to the woman, multiple times that it was only a one off, and she said that it was fine, wouldn't make a difference anyway. Guess I'll have to try calling them, their phone lines have been busy whenever I've tried ringing. Thanks

Yes, yes, very nice. Now will you answer the questions posted? It matters because it matters how much you earn in a single signing week, not over a monthly period. So for example if in week 1 you earn £120 you'd be signed off for week 1 and then have to reclaim for the other three. However if you earned £30 a week over the month, you would still be able to claim.
