Help towards interview expenses

It has been nearly a year since I left JCP and up until I left we were still allowing TIS I did hear that it was being stopped.
However I am struggling! My bus fare to town is £6 and I seem to be getting 1 or 2 interviews a week so as you can understand it is becoming expensive and while I know you need to put the effort in to get a job but is getting difficult and to be honest I am getting fed up with paying out and making an effort when I'm lucky to get a rejection letter.
Is there any help available now? I think I'm going to need to invest in more interview clothes too.
On a lighter note I have just had an email from a place that rejected my CV as they had offered the job to someone already, they now want to interview me.

I haven't had an appointment with the WP yet, first appointment is April 12th I said I was referred to them not been to see them.
My FTA ended May 2011 what do you think it means? people are referred to WP after a year.0 -

The info I posted about the training was given to me by the adviser at the jobcentre so although positive I am keeping an open mind.
Fixed term appointment.0 -
So they gave you no info about travel which to be honset you should asked about if you are getting so many interviews and paying out like you are. the WP pay for every travel to interview , you have to keep tickets and full details of the job, who you saw etc but having said that since your provider seem to be doing things different ie giving you training etc I am guessing they may do things differentThe info I posted about the training was given to me by the adviser at the jobcentre so although positive I am keeping an open mind.

You can keep an open mind all you like, there is no one on here with anything good to say about the WP!
I still do not know what you mean by saying you left JCP a year ago?0 -
I'm afraid that interview expenses will not be met by the JCP if it's in the local area, I was told this when i had an interview two weeks ago.0

They said I'd be paid expenses for appointments if they aren't on my signing day but nothing about interviews but I assume it is down to the wp provider to go through everything they offer.

No they wont tell you they offer if you have to ask for it. Someone here never even knew she could claim travel to the WP. Of course you can claim if it even IS on a signing day since I am guessing it's not in the same place as the JC? Mine is 7 miles away and takes an hour to get to so they have to pay or I wouldn't go.They said I'd be paid expenses for appointments if they aren't on my signing day but nothing about interviews but I assume it is down to the wp provider to go through everything they offer.
