ABi1 Form stopping?
J-Pop
Posts: 91 Forumite
Hello,
I have been unemployed now for 4 months since i was wade redundant and i have a few debts that are covered with PP.
I have been getting an ABi1 form stamped every month at JCP but i have been notified that this will be stopping and i have received a new form from my mortgage provider.
On the new form it is similar to the ABi1, i need to keep a record of my jobsearch and jobs i have applied for but there is a section in bold saying important....."i must apply for at least 3 jobs each month and provide details dates and copies of the application form"
I would have no problem with this if there were plenty of jobs out there to apply for.
Every day i search online for a job, ask friends and family ask my previous employer if my old workplace has picked up yet and am doing some further education.
I have applied for a few jobs online and have only got one reply back off one employer, sometimes there is just nothing there that i can apply for because i don't have the qualification or the job descriptions say experience or skills is essential.
I am worried that my PP will get delayed because i can't show proof of everything i do to search for work?
Does this mean i will be forced to apply for jobs that i am not skilled for just to fill in this form?
Thanks for any info.

There is an existing thread on this although there's not much in there yet.
