Yeah its for the low waged to avoid starvation/suffering from poverty, the jobcentre should do a lot of things but dont.
What exactly do you want to know?

Some on JSA are in poverty before they even get a job and eat pretty badly.
If any Gov wanted to do that, they'd just increase the NMW

It's good to know I could get that if I got a NMW as no one would ahve ever told me and if it happens I will make sure I ask why!!!

I see people driving to their boring mundane work in their expensive car, just to be able to pay it off. I do find it ironic.

So I agree with ya. I would not be happy with any ol' job. I have ideas and prospects. I want to BE something and not just DO something my entire life. I'd only be existing.

I don't understand why I would have asked about something I know nothing about? How is it hard to see how I have missed it when I knew nothing about them? I assumed 'credits' were for people on benefits with kids and stuff, not for me.

I still do not see how if I got a job tomorrow payinig £27k I'd still get them

You wouldn't, but then you probably won't get a job paying £27K tomorrow either!

Who said that to you? I would have complained as they havent got a crystal ball at the jobcentre.How do they know how much you will be earning in your next job?. Not everyone is like a jobcentre worker thick as pig$hit!.I'd have said that I have everychance of getting a decent job because Im not thick and ignorant like you.
Seriously, theres no reason why you wont get something decent- if they could get something decent they would be doing it- not that job, tossing it off and fobbing off the unemployed.

A bloke at the job centre told me that. That I would never work for more than min wage.

He said I needed to be fully qualifed to do accounts & my 20 yrs experience didn't come into it and that there were people working at the JC who were AAT qualifed to which I replied 'why are they working here then'?

Sounds like bitterness on his part from being stuck in a really crap job.

Accounts clerking is generally more than min wage. Usually I'd be getting £7.50-£8.00 for Purchase ledger or sales ledger. Even lower 'grunt' level client accounting stuff would be equal or above that level - most are advertised at 18k min.

He's just grumpy. I won't say you'll walk into a £27k job but a £18k or so? possibly.

Avg salary for a Purchase Ledger role in London is £25k and I was the asst supervisor at my last job so so would be looking for a little more. £18k in London is more a 2nd jobber role

Too many spongers here in the U.K. Hopdfully the tories are serious about getting some of these wasters back to work, if that is possible.
