    Its different for jsa. No-one said you were trying to diddle anyone its just different for anyone who has a health condition on jsa in that they can have tis straight away and not do the hour pre-condition normally applied to tis!!!

    Well, first of all they said I wasn't on JSA so I didn't qualify. The reason I am off sick and on IB is because I was self-employed for over 23 years and cannot have JSA!

    The Shaw Trust told me to fill in the forms for TIS, otherwise I wouldn't have known at all.

    Then they went and got the paperwork out and found that I DID qualify!

    Too many rules and regs means that folks cannot keep up with it all!
  • well it would have been the jobcentre that put you in touch with shaw trust:)
