my advice to anyone on the WP currently is to get off the dole while you have the chance because the stress of the post WP harassment is not worth the JSA money

I wish I'd known this was coming when I started the WP 2 years ago I would not be claiming now

Easier said than done

Nope not being harassed at all after the WP here for me.

How would you have not been claiming now?

If you read around the forums a bit it's clear that there's a whole range of experiences in the PWPS group, ranging from barely any difference to normal two weekly signing to four weeks of MWA followed by a three week, pointless, skills course and daily signing! :eek:

And all in the name of bean counting and ticking boxes for the DWP so that Ian Dumbo Smith can carry out his ideological assault on the poor and needy.

How many here though have just had one appointment and nothing now for a month?

No weekly signing
No MWA
No courses


I have just signed once and that's it

I was just saying I am not experiencing anything at all like stated on here.

I have gotten stuck with:
weekly signings
a stupid 9-5 fortnight course involving cv's etc
pressure to let the jobcentre access UJM so they can send me jobs to apply for

You haven't experienced that yet, but it will likely happen.

I don't think everyone is being treated the same because if they were you have all seen a person from the National Careers Service?

At my JC we were all sent to them after our initial appointment with the advisor. Had to do the online assessment and set up an account etc.

My advisor says she doesn't need to see me more than once a month.

Surely all the people on here who have been made to sign weekly or daily or do MWA have had this since they went back to the JC, not some months after?

if the WWP find out they have been lenient on claimants that should actually have been sanctioned they sanction the Training Associated company

how would they find out.

I got told at the end of the two week course there's a report on timekeeping etc so they probably use that to create sanctions
