you need to clarify this with your adviser. different people might get told different things.

The advisers will probably just skim over the report and not take much notice tbh as like I said before they have to 'start over again' with you and get you off of JSA by whatever means possible within the next 6 months when the next 'new' programme will commence.

i got told i get one and another copy goes to the jobcentre. its a wper1(may 2013) form. it does say its for england except cornwall and london.
if you do get a form like mine with every contact listed on it you will probably find they add 121's on there that didnt happen. i am pretty sure they have done that on mine.

I am not that silly as I know all my one to ones and when they happened and I know the ones they cancelled as I have all the reviews for all this time in my handbag when I go there every time for whatever reason.

I have had no more than one every 4 weeks and the last 4 I have not even spoken to anyone but they were done before I was called over and all I did was sign them

Someone who is working can try to work out how this is a review as I don't know!!! LOL

Even though in the year and a half I ve been forced to attend appointments at Seetec the only job they managed to get for me was a scam that ripped me off, I am still expected to go there.

My last scheduled appointment was one of those pointless hour long jobsearches that I just didn t go to because I was so fed up with them and...nothing.

The jobcentre didn t say anything at my last meeting, and I haven t heard a word from Seetec since. Do they even check things like this? They seem even more incompetent than I thought.

if you have missed a job search session that was booked for you be rest assured you will get a doubt on your name and a letter from the DWP in due course then you have to prove you never knew you had the appointment or it was cancelled as you could not attend, not just could not be bothered

I saw him Monday this week and I'd logged all the jobs over two weeks from different sites on the same day on the UJM website and he didn't object or tell me I needed to log on daily - he actually didn't know how to use the site and asked for help at one point

which is fine but if he goes off sick will another jobsworth see this and sanction me - I wish they would all stick to the same story:(

does it not say anything on your jsa agreement about what is required of you. if you fulfill that and anything else in writing you should be ok.

Went in again today - for no real reason - the guy standing in for my advisor (who is already on holiday)couldn't get the computer to work so he just said "come in next week" and gave me a week off :T

I think this will be more the tone of it as it goes on - just everyone going through the motions
