Hi.

My Partner's employer has recieved a letter from DWP, asking if he has been working there since 21st july 2010.

My parnter started recieving JSA CB 21st july 2010,(after a break from not being entitled to any money on JSA IB), when he started the claim he declared this job, as its 15hours and £90 p/wk the JC said this was fine and didnt affect the claim.
The claim acceptance letter from JC says:
'you are not getting anymore JSA because:
You have more money coming than the law says you need to live on'

He was paid £51.85 p/wk (hes 24).

Did you get that in writing? When he went to the job centre every two weeks and they asked him have you done any work in the last two weeks, I assume he declared it every single time? If so, he'd have had to fill out a form explaining exactly what hours he'd done and what he'd been paid. If he did this all correctly and they still paid him it the £51 p/w it's their error, but this doesn't mean he can keep the money.

BTW ignore DX2 he's a well known troll on this forum.

:rotfl::rotfl:Is he now, I'm sure he will be chuckled because you said so.

Don't you fill in a B7 / JSA7 every fortnight to declare your p/t work?? (even if JSA averaged out your earnings)


I'd seek help from CAB / Welfare Adviser if you can soften the blow.

Surely something must of told you you couldn't really claim JSA if you had a job? Or double checked it with anyone just to make sure?

O/T But how is DX2 a troll? I thought they were newbies that signed up and wrote contoversial posts, On all the posts her DX2 advises. I know that and I am for the most part a lurker.

I'm confused....or thick.....or....maybe a bit of both! It's been a long day!

DWP has written to his employer I guess to do with the JSA part of it? What about housing benefit? Have they also queried any overpayments if they didn't have the correct figures for total household income?

It doesn't sound right that your boyfriend has never had to declare any work for each two week period that he has signed on. Or.....did he really claim he wasn't working?

I'm confused how he managed to get IBJSA then CBJSA sniff. Under normal circumsatnces it's the other way around.

If posters don't like the way you post you're labelled a troll
